In 1966 Overseas Finance (Exchange Control) formed part of the Finance, Home and General Division of the Treasury. It dealt with Exchange Control and Overseas Investment, when the responsibility was transferred from Finance Home Division I.
In January 1969 Overseas Finance (Exchange Control) took over investment work from the Finance General Division, including balance of payments aspects of Government procurement abroad, protection of overseas investments and co-ordination of policy on borrowing abroad (excluding government borrowing, but including borrowing by nationalised industries). In November 1969 it developed new work on balance of payment aspects of taxation, and on project studies such as the rate of return analysis of alternative policies in the area of exchange control.
In January 1973 Overseas Finance (Exchange Control) was transferred to form Overseas Finance (Exchange Control) Division, part of Overseas Finance, Management of the Reserves.
