'Second Memorandum as to Persian Government Loans'

Content

This memorandum is a continuation of a previous memorandum dated 17 October 1910 (see IOR/L/PS/18/C120a).

The memorandum summarises a number of major loans made by the British to the Persian Government from 1910-1912: this therefore includes summaries of the following:

• the Persian Government 5% Loan of £1,250,000 (1911);
• the Anglo-Russian Advance of £200,000 (1912) and Anglo-Indian Advances made as a result in August and November 1912;
• the remuneration of the Imperial Bank of Persia for its services in facilitating loans to the Persian Government.

The appendix (folio 56) includes a table of amortisation annuity for the Persian Government Loan of 1910, which consolidated its debts to the Imperial Bank of Persia; it outlines the interest payable by year from 1913-1927. It also includes a copy of the joint note issued to the Government of Persia by British and Russian ministers outlining the terms of the Anglo-Russian Advance (1912).

This memorandum continues in a subsequent memorandum dated 1 September 1913 (see IOR/L/PS/18/C120c).
