This year CIPFA has consulted upon a number of fundamental changes to the Treasury Management Code and Prudential Code to reflect the new financial environment of austerity and commercialism. The workshop provided an opportunity to consider the new approach including a longer term perspective and wider definition of investment to help formulate direction for the 2018/19 Treasury Management Strategies.
These could be the most important treasury strategies for many years as local government manages the Brexit implications of near zero interest rates and expectations that interest rates may be lower for longer than we dare imagine?
The presentation slides for the CIPFA Treasury Management Strategy setting workshop are now available to download.
