Treasury Management Outturn 2016/17 pdf icon PDF 274 KB

Report of the Chief Operating Officer to advise Members of treasury management activity and performance during 2016/17 in accordance with the CIPFA Treasury Management Code of Practice.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report on the Treasury Management 2016/17 Outturn by the Head of Pensions. The Treasury Management Outturn report indicated that the Council confirmed compliance with its treasury management strategy statement &  prudential indicators for 2016/17. The report gave an overview on the impact of external economic context and the local context including an overview of Haringey’s borrowing and investment activity in 2016/17. 

In response to the discussion on internal borrowing, the Committee requested that clarification be put in writing that the ‘internal resources’ referred to in relation to short term borrowing were not funds being borrowed from other areas/services within the Council but rather from the Council’s surplus cash.  

 

In response to a question from the Committee, it was agreed that background information on the Councils capital financing requirement, actual borrowing levels and cash balances would be provided to the members. This is to include details on how the cash has built up over time and how this compares to other Local Authorities as well as Haringey’s own financial situation over the last 10 years.

Action: Head of Pensions
