Abstract

Az energiaszektor pénzügyi teljesítménye nagymértékben befolyásolja a gazdasági folyamatok stabilitását, valamint a környezetbarát energiatechnológiák bevezetésének lehetőségeit. A Magyarországra 2020-ban begyűrűző koronavírus-járvány, valamint az annak nyomán kialakuló válsághelyzet számos iparágat és szektort megrendített. Jelen tanulmány célja a hazai energetikai nagyvállalatok - kiemelten az állami tulajdonúak - pénzügyi stabilitását vizsgálva választ adni arra a kérdésre, hogy a világjárvány által előidézett válság milyen mértékben érintette rövid távon (2020 végéig) az energiaszektort. A vizsgálatot egy kiterjedt vállalati adatbázison alapuló logisztikus regressziós modellel végeztük el. Az empirikus eredmények rámutattak, hogy az állami energetikai vállalatok pénzügyi teljesítménye között profilonként voltak eltérések, de a csődvalószínűségük 5 százalék alatt maradt a vizsgált időszakban, ami összességében erős pénzügyi stabilitásra, valamint a koronavírus-járvány okozta válságnak való ellenálló képességre utal. Következtetésünk szerint a járvány keltette gazdasági események önmagukban kevésbé gátolták a hazai energetikai szereplők részvételét az energiaátmenetben.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: JEL: G33, Q47, C53.
