Does the Welsh Government support local authorities to invest in and purchase local businesses to generate additional revenue?

Answered by Minister for Finance and Local Government | Answered on 12/02/2024

Investment or purchase of local businesses by Local Authorities should follow the CIPFA Prudential Code for capital finance in local authorities. This framework supports local strategic planning and asset management, to ensure that capital investment plans of local authorities are affordable, prudent and sustainable.
