Humpert's Bibliographie der Cameralwissenschaften attributes it to Oscar I.'For a few years, the Crown and the Parliament were in agreement about the creation of a largely State controlled banking system. At an 1842 cabinet meeting, the King presented amemorandum concerning private banking. His vision was to replace the note issuing private banks with banks only partly privately owned and dependent on the Riksbank. These Riksbank branches would have a maximum of 50% private ownership and would operate with credits from the Riksbank. The obvious time for introducing this new system would be when the existing charters expired in 1847' (A. Ögren, 'The causes and consequences of banking regulation: the case of Sweden', in Past, Present and Policy 4th International Conference, Geneva, 2011, p. 7).Rare.
