This form of association became popular in Hungary in the first half of the 19th century and then after 1867, within the framework of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, thousands of different joint stock companies were formed during the decades of the great economic boom. In the country, the form of joint stock company remained a major player in economic life until the 1949 nationalization. In the second half of the 1980s, in the last years of the socialist system, the form of a joint stock company reappeared in Hungary.
