Finance (Overseas and Co-ordination) (F) was set up as part of the Treasury re-organisation in June 1962. The former Home Finance (HF), Overseas Finance Division (OF) and Overseas Co-ordination Division were brought together under the newly-formed Finance Group. The Finance Group contained three divisions

The work of Finance (Home and General) Division was transferred to the National Economy Group, while the Finance Group became known as the Overseas Finance Group incorporating the functions of Finance (Overseas and Co-ordination) Division and Finance (Overseas Development) Division.
