Administrative / biographical background

The records were originally created under Public Finance Sector, Financial Institutions and Markets Group, Banking Division from 1992. In 1993 the Division name changed to Banking and Mutuals Division; the remaining structure stayed the same. In 1995 the Sector became Industry and Financial Institutions. In 1996 a shallower organisational structure was introduced at Treasury whereby the Sector became Finance Regulation and Industry and the Group became Credit Institutions; no division was created. The MFI prefix files was continued across these organisation changes over time until 1997.
