Abstract
[Resumen]: Las cajas de ahorros han sido una institución clave en el desarrollo de nuestro sistema
financiero contemporáneo. Estas instituciones, hijas de las revoluciones liberales de
nuestro país, ayudaron a universalizar el ahorro, extendiéndolo a las clases populares.
Asimismo, con su ayuda se trató de evitar alzamientos violentos por parte de la
población, contribuyendo a la instauración del capitalismo y el liberalismo en España.
Galicia no fue ajena a estas instituciones, llegando a constituirse hasta 1913 hasta ocho
de ellas, las cuales, con mayor o menor éxito, persiguieron los objetivos que desde un
principio las definieron. Su labor fue fundamental para el desarrollo financiero de una
Galicia en la que la forma predominante de préstamo era la usura para las clases
populares. Sin embargo, a lo largo del período estudiado (1842-1913), algunas de estas
Cajas van a ir surgiendo con éxito, comenzando a dirigirse a otros públicos; otras, en
cambio, pese a su surgimiento, no encontraron el acomodo necesario. Pero, en todo
caso, constituyeron una herramienta esencial para evitar un mayor atraso de la
economía gallega frente al resto de regiones.
[Abstract]: Saving banks have been crucial institutions in the development of our contemporary financial system. These institutions, which were the result of the liberal revolutions in Spain, contributed to the universalization of money saving, introducing the popular classes to it. Moreover, they helped to avoid violent revolts by the population, contributing to the establishment of a liberal and capitalist regime in Spain. Galicia was not unconnected to these organisations. Up to 1913, eight of these institutions were founded in the region. All of them, with varying degrees of success, worked in the pursuit of their foundational objectives. Their work was essential in the financial development of Galicia, a region where up to that date, the prevailing form of financing for the lower classes was rooted in usury. However, during the period studied in this dissertation (1842-1913), some of these saving banks emerged with great success, and even started targeting other types of customers. Others, conversely, were unsuccessful in finding their niche market. Nevertheless, these institutions played an utterly important role to avoid a more profound economic backwardness of Galicia as compared to other regions.
