- Title:
- Coll 30/221 'Banking facilities in Bahrein and Saudi-Arabia'
- Scope & Content:
-
The file concerns Bahrain alone, and not, as the title states, Saudi Arabia.
The file contains two letters dated September 1949 from the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf (Lieutenant-Colonel Sir William Rupert Hay) concerning a visit to Bahrain by a representative of the Pakistan State Bank. The letters state that the representative was principally concerned about discrimination against Pakistan currency, and also proposed to recommend the opening of a branch of the bank in Bahrain. The file includes copies of correspondence dated 1944 showing that the Ruler of Bahrain (Shaikh Sir Salman bin Hamad al Khalifah [Salmān bin Ḥamad Āl Khalīfah]) had agreed at that time not to permit the opening of any additional bank in Bahrain for a period of ten years.
The file includes a divider, and a list (folio 2) of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
