Summary/Abstract: Many different factors affect the development of a city`s economy. In the period between the two world wars the economy in Skopje was very specific and was influenced by various factors. The aim of this article is to present the key factors that directly influenced the development of the economy in the city of Skopje between the two world wars. The structure of the population was one of the factors that had a major role in the economic rise of the city. The population in the city in the interwar period increased for about 20%. However, this was not only due to the natural growth of the city, but also in large part due to the mechanical influx of people who settled in other towns and villages in the interior of the Vardar part of Macedonia, as well as other places and regions of the Kingdom of SHS / Yugoslavia. Skopje has various natural resources for economic development and the economy. However, the location and the manner in which these resources were used depended on the most important factor which was of course the political factor.
