Abstract

This chapter studies the historical evolution of Spain’s unlisted savings banks, or cajas de ahorros, from 1900 when their business entered a stage of rapid growth and they began mutating from charitable organizations into financial institutions, up until 1975, the final year of Francoism and the prelude to the liberalization and modernization of the Spanish financial system. Along with this introduction, this chapter comprises six further sections, devoted to the successive stages of the history of Spanish savings banks; a history shaped by political circumstances, given powerful impact of legislation on the cajas.
