Abstract

The document evaluates the importance of the credit market condition on the investment of firms that trade in the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. The analysis shows that the degree of liquidity constraints that such firms face has increased since 1995. In addition, it is found that the degree of liquidity constraints are lower for firms whose property is highly concentrated, firms that have traded in the stock market for a long period of time, firms that trade in foreign capital markets and firms that use supplier’s credit intensively. Finally, it is shows that the conditions of the credit market affect significantly the investment of the firms that are included in the exercise. The existence of a credit channel as a transmission mechanism of monetary policy is identifield.// El artículo evalúa la importancia de las condiciones del mercado de crédito en la inversión de empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores. El análisis muestra que la magnitud de las restricciones de liquidez que enfrentan dichas empresas se ha incrementado a partir de la crisis de 1995. Asimismo, se encuentra que estas restricciones son menos acentuadas para empresas cuya propiedad corporativa está altamente concentrada, las que han cotizado en bolsa por un tiempo prolongado, las que emiten acciones en mercados internacionales y las que cuentan con un alto porcentaje de créditos de proveedores en relación con su pasivo total. Finalmente, se muestra que las condiciones del mercado de crédito influyen significativamente en la inversión de las empresas que se incluyen en el análisis y se identifica la existencia de un canal crediticio de transmisión de la política monetaria.
