Microfinance Providers and Rural Lending in the Province of Carniola Before 1914: a Case Study of the District Credit Cooperative Litija

Nataša Henig Miščič · 2024 · Contributions to Contemporary History

Summary. This study examines two types of microfinance intermediaries—savings banks and credit cooperatives—and their impact on rural populations in Carniola before 1914. After serfdom's abolition in 1848, peasants became landowners needing access to credit and monetary markets. The paper traces how the District Credit Cooperative Litija facilitated financial inclusion and credit operations in rural areas during this transformative period.
