The Bank of Lithuania published a monograph of Vladas Terleckas Bankininkystė Lietuvoje 1795–1915 (“Banking in Lithuania from 1795 to 1918”). The author is a well known economist of Lithuania, a signatory of the Act
Restoring the Independence of the State of Lithuania and a public figure.
This is the first scientific work on the development of banking in Lithuania from 1795 to 1915. The author carried out a thorough search for literature and archive sources. He was the first who made an extensive research of the archives of credit institutions that operated in Lithuania during the time of Tsarist Russia.
“We believe that this in-depth scientific work will attract attention of the historians of Lithuania, researchers of historical regions and all the people who are interested in finance and banking issues of national history. The Bank donated the bulk of the edition of the books to libraries of towns and regions”, Member of the Board of the Bank of Lithuania Audrius Misevičius said.
In his monograph, Vladas Terleckas presented a very comprehensive interesting and important information about the process of Russification of landowning in Lithuania, credit institutions unknown until now, i.e. non-interest-bearing unions of Jews and about other phenomena and personalities from the world of finance during the investigated period.
This is the fourth monograph written by Vladas Terleckas. His first book was Lietuvos bankas 1922–1943, 1997 (“The Bank of Lithuania 1922–1943”); second book Lietuvos bankininkystės istorija 1918–1941 (“History of the banking of Lithuania 1918–1941”), 2000. One year later he wrote the third book Lietuvos bankininkai. Gyvenimų ir darbų pėdsakai 1918–1940 (“Bankers of Lithuania. Traces of Lives and Works 1918–1940”).
The Bank of Lithuania encourages the scientific activity in different ways (also by issuing publications) in the fields of nowadays Lithuanian banking and its history, finances, and monetary and macroeconomic researches; it also contributes to the economic education of the public and cherishing of cultural heritage.
