| Sumario: | The aim of this work is to discuss the development of the Banco Español del Río de la Plata (BERP) on the basis of historical records along with bibliographic and documentary material held at the Libraries of the Banco Central de la Republica Argentina. The BERP was charted in 1886 mainly by Spanish immigrants residing in Argentina. Its capacity to overcome the 1891 banking crisis promptly raised public interest. Over its expansionary times,the BERP opened a number of branches across different provinces and even developed a notorious presence overseas, chiefly in Europe. The BERP became the most preeminent private bank in Argentina in terms of lending, deposits, capital and reserves. Nevertheless, the problems that it had been dragging on in the twenties triggered its collapse in the aftermath of the 1930 crisis. A combination of these facts called for a special program for the BERP within the framework of the 1935 monetary and banking reform. |
