Full description
The Commonwealth and States Financial Agreement Act 1927 and subsequent amendments provided regulations for reduction of public debt in Victoria and other States within the Commonwealth of Australia, as well as provisions for the establishment of further loans and investments. The Act also established that the public monies of each State could be invested in foreign stocks at the discretion of its Treasurer to raise further revenue, though such investments must be consolidated within the Net Public Debt of that State.
This record consists of a ledger of foreign investments, notably in London, New York, Canada and The Netherlands. It provides an ongoing account of the financial amount invested in foreign stock and the interest earned on a monthly basis.
Investment and interest details were subsequently posted to VPRS 11333 Provisional Ledgers: Trust Funds and Special Appropriations.
