The results are in for Room151’s 2024 treasury management survey – detailing the collective wisdom of local government finance officers.
These can be read in full in a special digital publication, which can be accessed via this link or by clicking the cover image below.
The survey, sponsored by CCLA Investment Management, is an influential snapshot of finance officer sentiment and this year received 152 responses.
Five sections encompass questions on treasury investment; financial sustainability and s114 notices; risk management; policy and government; and macro-economic/mega trends.
A range of charts visually detail the results and Room151 commentary offers accompanying analysis, while Kelly Watson, head of local government relationships at CCLA Investment Management, has provided the foreword to the report.
The results of the survey were first announced at the Local Authority Treasurers Investment Forum & FDs’ Summit 2024 in London in September.
Some of the headline results of the survey have also been revealed in Room151 stories. There has been a ‘downward trend’ in treasury investments with the focus being squarely on cash, while reputational risks have impacted inter-authority lending amid debt scrutiny. The survey has also highlighted how surging temporary accommodation costs are posing a major risk to local government finances.
