Administrative / biographical background

The records were created under the Public Finance (sector), Financial Institutions and Markets (group) and the specific creator in 1992 was the Banking division. In 1993, the names of the creator changed to the Banking and Mutuals Division under the same organisational structure. In 1994, Public Finance Sector was replaced by Industry and Financial Institutions (sector) and Financial Institutions and Markets (group) changed to the Banking (group). In 1996, Industry and Financial Institutions (sector) changed to the Finance Regulation and Industry Directorate and Banking (group) changed to Credit Institutions (group).

The origins of banking supervision prior to 1992 are to be found in Domestic Economy Sector, Home Finance Group, which had a Financial Institutions Division (1981).
