London Treasury's Review of the Year and Business Plan 2026-27 (Cover Page)

Introduction

 

At London Treasury, a company created by the public sector to address liquidity, treasury, net zero and SME investment challenges faced by local authorities, we seek to deliver positive, long-term outcomes for our clients.

 

Our ‘Review of the Year and Business Plan 2026-27’ sets out how we will continue to achieve this, building on our long‑term strategy and mission to help local authorities secure better outcomes from their investments and treasury activities than would be feasible standing alone. It outlines the direction for future growth, while also reflecting on the progress and achievements of the past year.

Foreword from Maggie Rodriguez-Piza, CEO of London Treasury
