Wikipedia, British International Investment, viewed August 2, 2024 (British International Investment, formerly CDC Group plc, Commonwealth Development Corporation, and Colonial Development Corporation, is the development finance institution of the UK government; the original Colonial Development Corporation was established as a statutory corporation in 1948 by Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government, to assist British colonies in the development of agriculture; following the independence of many colonies, it was renamed the Commonwealth Development Corporation in 1963, and was permitted to invest outside the Commonwealth in 1969; as part of the Commonwealth Development Corporation Act 1999, CDC was converted from a statutory corporation to a public limited company renamed CDC Group plc, with all shares owned by the UK Government)
