Investments in Qatar National Bank
Dear Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council,
I'm writing to request information to which I believe I am entitled and which you may hold.
I am seeking any information on local authority funds that have been stored with Qatar National Bank in the past 5 years, either as part of Treasury management operations, or for any other reason. Please provide the following:-
A breakdown of local authority funds that have been stored with Qatar National Bank (QNB) since 1 January 2017.
The quantum of the funds invested with QNB and the interest rate earned.
The latest list of approved countries for local authority funds to be invested in.
Please note that I have also made a request to some local authorities regarding money invested by council pension funds.
This is a separate request about a different type of investment, not a duplicated request.
I look forward to a response within the statutory time period.
Yours faithfully,
Rob Davies
Dear Mr Davies
Thank you for your email received on 7 September 2022 requesting information about local authority funds.
Please note you can now log a Freedom of Information request on our online portal on the following link https://www.knowsley.gov.uk/your-council...
I have recorded your request for information under reference F2020.09.5813.
This has been passed to the relevant service and you will receive a response by 04 October 2022.
In line with guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office, the council may make a charge for the provision of information – for example in order to cover the costs of postage (in line with the relevant postal charges) or charges for printing and copying (which will reflect photocopying charges levied by the council’s public libraries) or if this falls within the regulations of an EIR (Environmental Information).
You will be informed if a fee is to be applied before information is to be provided.
