March is traditionally a bumper month for local authority borrowing, as cash runs out and spending increases during the last quarter. However, the pandemic and the changes to the PWLB margins prompted a very different March 2021. #borrowing #localgov

From March 2021, financial market participants including asset managers in the EU have to comply with the high-level principles-based ‘Level 1’ requirements of SFDR. This regulation applies at both, fund manager and product level. #ESG #investing #localgov https://t.co/ZogNqXuLXL

Greensill's insolvency will likely lead to losses for its creditors, including German public sector bodies who had placed deposits with the bank. What can UK local authorities learn from this? #Credit #LocalAuthorities #TreasuryManagement

The recent news on the capitalisation direction issued to Nottingham City Council brings the tally of directions granted to local authorities at just under £150million. So, what is a capitalisation direction? #localauthorities #treasurymanagement

While there are plenty of LOBO loans left in local authority portfolios, it seems more likely that proactive debt management and opportunistic prepayments, rather than legal action, will help unwind remaining positions #DebtManagement #LocalGov https://t.co/qLx3XBDIEs

The information that the census provides can be hugely useful for central and local government and helps to determine what services and policies are needed, and where they will be of the highest benefit too #Census2021 #localauthorities

Authorities are borrowing portfolios of rolling short-term loans, benefiting from rates typically around 0.10%, with the flexibility to adjust debt levels as required. Could a maturity ladder be right for you? #localauthorities #treasurymanagement

It’s been three months since HM Treasury published its new PWLB Lending Terms. However, since the reduction in November 2020, borrowing from the PWLB has remained at very low levels. So why is this? #PWLB #localauthorities #borrowing
