Abstract

Failures in the Crimean War, the ruined national economy and the crisis in the economy put into great doubt the future of the Russian Empire as a leading European power. The tsarist government saw overcoming the technological, military-technical and economic lag of Russia from the capitalist countries in the restructuring of the existing banking system. Shifts in the financial sector led to the opening of the State Bank, which carried out credit and financial operations for the development of commodity-money relations with the country. In the Don region, credit and financial support for local sectors of the national economy was provided by the Rostov office of the State Bank.

The activity of the Rostov office of the state bank in the field of issuing a loan for the purchase of agricultural tools is analyzed.
