Treasury Cash Management Services

Dublin Port Company_411

Dublin Port Company proposes to engage in a competitive process for the establishment of a framework agreement for provision of treasury cash management services. Dublin Port Company is currently holding surplus cash balances in the region of €100m to €150m and investing its surplus in call deposits and exchequer notes. The amount of this surplus will decrease over time. Dublin Port has recently adopted a Treasury Cash Management Policy and is seeking an investment advisor to work with them on the implementation and execution of this policy. The policy focuses on liquidity and low risk with a time horizon of 1 to 3 years to suit the Company’s potential treasury requirements. Treasury objectives, in order of priority, are to; 1. Maintain robust operating liquidity at all times; 2. Position capital for investment in line with strategic objectives; 3. Hold medium to long-term reserves in a diversified portfolio that is cognisant of prevailing interest rates and inflation.
