This file contains annual budgets and financial accounts of the Government of Bahrain as well as related correspondence between British Government officials and Charles Belgrave, Adviser to the Ruler of Bahrain. Much of this correspondence is between officials at the Political Agency in Bahrain and the Political Residency in Bushire that discusses the Government of Bahrain's financial situation and Bahrain's general economic development. The file also contains a limited amount of correspondence between the Political Agency in Bahrain and the country's ruler, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa.
The file contains two Arabic language propaganda posters that were produced by the British Government's Ministry of Information. The posters are contained in the file as they were used as spare paper to print Government of Bahrain financial accounts on.
