Disclosure:
The information released in the PDF files relates to the 1976 sterling crisis and loan from the IMF and to the fiscal packages prepared after the 1976 crisis. The information consists of policy advice, discussions amongst officials, advice to the Chancellor and minutes of meetings between ministers, senior officials and senior officials at the Bank of England. The papers also include views expressed by some senior IMF, US Treasury and US Federal Reserve officials. Some of the papers were sensitive at the time but we now assess that, with the passage of time, the public interest lies in making them public.
