Report by the Deputy Chief Executive (Section 151 Officer) (CA12)

Quarterly report on the Council's treasury management activity.

Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to note the council’s treasury management activity for the first three quarters of 2025/26.

Recommendations approved.

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy’s (CIPFA’s) ‘Code of Practice on Treasury Management 2021’ requires that committee to which some treasury management responsibilities are delegated, will receive regular monitoring reports on treasury management activities and risks. Cabinet had before it the third report for the 2025/26 financial year, following previous updates in September and November 2025 and set out the position at 31 December 2025.

Councillor Dan Levy, Cabinet Member for Finance, Property and Transformation, presented the report. Councillor Levy confirmed compliance with prudential indicators, described the Council's debt and investment strategies, and reported on the performance of external fund investments, including the divestment from the Schroder's fund and ongoing dividend income.

Councillor Levy moved and Councillor Leffman seconded the recommendations and they were approved.

RESOLVED to note the council’s treasury management activity for the first three quarters of 2025/26.
