Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between the nature of Spanish Savings
banks and the extent of their market success during the twentieth century. It
deals with the key factors that have made so good a performance possible,
such as: their ability to promote private saving, to cooperate with government
economic policy, to adapt to changing circumstances, to operate in particular
geographical areas, and to cooperate with one another. Finally, the paper deals
with this last factor in depth. The competitive cooperation model is used to
explain the outstanding role of the Spanish Confederation of Savings Banks in
making the strategic alliance among the Spanish savings banks possible.
