Capital Investment Strategy, Capital Programme Strategy, Investment Strategy (Non-Treasury) and Treasury Management Strategy
Since 2019/20 Council has been required to produce a number of strategies that together set out how the Council will manage its resources and investments. These strategies are the Capital Investment Strategy, the Capital Programme Strategy, the Investment Strategy (Non-Treasury), and the Treasury Management Strategy.
The Capital Investment Strategy gives a high level overview of how capital expenditure, capital financing and treasury management activity contribute to the provision of council services along with an overview of how associated risk is managed.
The Capital Programme Strategy looks at how the council will finance, allocate and manage capital investment into services that are vital to achieving the council's longer term vision and Council Plan priority outcomes.
The Investment Strategy (Non-Treasury) provides information on the council’s non-treasury investments including loans made for service purposes and non-financial assets (e.g. property) held primarily or partially to generate a profit.
The Treasury Management Strategy provides information on the council’s investments in financial instruments held for cash management purposes and where the primary concern is security of the investments over and above the returns achieved.
The Treasury Policy Statement sets out the council’s policy objectives on investments and borrowing and is included within Treasury Management Strategy.
