Catalogue description Crown Agents for Oversea Governments and Administrations: Finance Departments: Registered Files, Funds, Loans and Investments

The majority of records in this series deal with the administration of particular loans under the Colonial Loans and other Acts; a few deal with the wider financial position of particular territories or regions, currency questions, war loans, savings schemes and savings banks, marketing board funds, insurance schemes and general principles of colonial investment. There is also correspondence about the Joint Colonial (Consolidated) Fund, especially about the effects of the 1931 financial crisis, and a series of annual reviews of the Finance Department's work.
