Outlook #4 “European non‐financial corporations from 2007 to 2014”

The Outlook #4 available free of charge at the BACH website, entitled “European non‐financial corporations from 2007 to 2014” uses BACH data to analyse recent developments in ten European economies: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Spain. This Outlook focuses on the 2008‐2009 financial crisis’ immediate impact over non‐financial corporations’ profitability and funding structure, as well as on the evolution in the subsequent periods, distinguishing short‐term from long‐term effects. A breakdown by sector, size and the distribution quartiles for some ratios are provided in order to better illustrate the diversity of situations among each country.
