The Financial Situation and Financing of Nonfinancial Corporations in the Ten New EU Member States – A First Empirical Orientation

Author

Abstract

This paper provides a first stocktaking of the available data on the financial situation and the financing of nonfinancial corporations (NFCs) in the ten new EU Member States (NMS-10). It focuses on comparing the situation in the NMS-10 with the status quo in the euro area. For most indicators of financial results and of the structure of liabilities and financial assets, the range between the minimum and the maximum within the euro area was sufficiently wide to embrace the corresponding NMS-10 values. Thus, the two groups are not very different from each other in this respect. Still, there are some differences between them that tend to be typical and are primarily attributable to the ongoing catching-up process of the NMS-10 economies and the more prominent role of inward FDI as well as the still minor role of outward FDI in their economic structure.
