ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the operations and the path followed by the Bank of Lisbon between 1822 and 1828. The central aim is to understand the activities of the Bank of Lisbon in the context of the first years of the new liberal and constitutional regime, before the counter-revolutionary coup in April 1823, as well as the bank’s performance at a time of great social unrest, which gave rise to theoretical and political reflections on monetary and financial themes. Special emphasis will be given to knowing who were the shareholders and directors of the Bank of Lisbon, what connections did they have with the economic and political agents and what was the bank’s model of governance and decision-making.
