Aktivity podnikového a finančného sektora v Banskej Bystrici počas druhej svetovej vojny

The economic activities of the town of Banská Bystrica during the existence of the Slovak state were diverse. They developed in the field of industry, trades and crafts, for which the activity of financial institutions was also important. An important industrial sector was the wood and paper industry. During the Second World War, several timber companies were active in the town, focusing on various areas of wood processing. The enterprises operated under both domestic and foreign ownership, with links persisting mainly with Czech capital, which had acquired its positions here during the existence of the Czechoslovak Republic. Plants of a larger or smaller production character played an important role and provided employment and social security for the inhabitants of the town during the period under review.
