Podnikateľské aktivity Slovenskej banky v rokoch 1919 – 1929
The Business Activities of the Slovenská banka in the Period 1919-1929

Summary/Abstract: The work analyses the business activities of the Slovenská banka in Bratislava. This bank built up its business organization, numerically the largest in the Slovak financial sector, after 1918. The main emphasis is on the business activities of the Slovenská banka in joint stock companies concerned with industry, trade, transport and finance from the founding euphoria of 1919-1921 through the bankruptcy of some companies during the post-war economic crisis to the consolidation in the boom years of 1926-1929. The Slovenská banka built up its business organization mainly in the years 1919-1921 with substantial help from the Živnostenská banka of Prague. It also gained shareholdings in various companies on the basis of fusion with the Hospodárska banka of Bratislava. In 1922, 45 companies were included in the sphere of influence of the Slovenská banka. However, their number and capital value were reduced by the economic crisis. From 1924 to 1929, the Slovenská banka devoted its efforts mainly to the recovery of its most important companies.
