Abstract

In 1856 the Banco EspañOl de La Habana started to operate. According to its Charter it was the only banking institution with privilege to issue. Its relations with the government were thus very close from the beginning. This article studies the evolution of the bank between 1856 and 1880. Special attention is paid to its financial support to the government, particularly during the Cuban insurrection of 1868. We also point out the assistance of the Spanish government to this institution in periods of maximum strain (crisis of 1857 and 1866) and the key role of the bank as a piece in the political and administrative machinery of the colony.
