The Council considered a report which advised that the
Council has significant balances which are invested in accordance with its
Annual Treasury Management Strategy. The Council considered the request for two
amendments to the strategy to allow for a greater flexibility when making
investment decisions in the current economic environment.
Decision
The Council agreed to:-
a) Amend
the investment limit for term deposits with UK Banks from £10m to £15m.
b) Amend
the maximum duration that a deposit can be made with other local authorities or
public bodies from 1 year to 2 years.
