Die Auswirkungen der Coronapandemie auf die finanzielle Lage unterschiedlicher Gruppen von mittelständischen Unternehmen und deren Folgen für den Kreditzugang

Die Coronapandemie hat sichtbare Spuren bei der Liquiditätssituation und den Eigenkapitalquoten mittelständischer Unternehmen hinterlassen. Vor dem Hintergrund einer guten Ausgangslage und insgesamt einer Stabilisierung der Lage im Krisenverlauf ist eine Überschuldung des Unternehmenssektors in der Breite jedoch unwahrscheinlich. Die Auswirkungen betreffen den gesamten Mittelstand jedoch nicht einheitlich, sondern treten verstärkt in einzelnen Segmenten auf, vor allem bei kleinen Unternehmen, in bestimmten Wirtschaftszweigen, auslandsaktiven Unternehmen und Unternehmen mit schon vor Corona schwächerer Bonität. Dies belastet das Kreditklima: Die Risikosensitivität von Kreditinstituten nimmt zu. Die von der Coronakrise betroffenen Unternehmenssegmente sehen sich häufiger höheren Anforderungen bei den Kreditsicherheiten sowie Zinserhöhungen gegenüber, wenn auch insgesamt der Kreditkanal während der Krise bisher aufgrund von Geld- und Fiskalpolitischen Maßnahmen offen geblieben ist, einen Beitrag zur Stabilisierung geleistet hat, und diese Effekte weniger stark als in der Finanzkrise 2008/09 sind. The Corona pandemic has left visible traces on the liquidity situation and equity ratios of medium-sized companies. Against the background of a good starting position and an overall stabilisation of the situation in the course of the crisis, over-indebtedness of the corporate sector across the board is unlikely. However, the effects do not affect the entire SME sector uniformly, but occur more strongly in specific segments, especially among small companies, in certain economic sectors, foreign-active companies and companies that already had a weaker credit rating before Corona. This weighs on the credit climate: the risk sensitivity of credit institutions is increasing. The company segments affected by the Corona crisis are more frequently faced with higher requirements for loan collateral as well as interest rate increases, even if overall the credit channel has remained open during the crisis so far due to monetary and fiscal policy measures, has made a contribution to stabilisation, and these effects are less strong than in the financial crisis of 2008/09.

Bank competition and the credit channel of monetary policy: Evidence from an emerging country

Our study provides one of the first examinations in an emerging country on the credit channel of monetary policy transmission under the influence of competition. The study was conducted using a panel data of 30 joint-stock commercial banks in Vietnam in the period of 2008-2017. By applying the DGMM estimation method, we found that the existence of the influence of competition on monetary policy transmission through credit channels. The higher bank competitiveness will make monetary policy transmission via credit channels of commercial banks less effective. Large-scale commercial banks, because of a merger or equity increase, will increase their competitiveness because of increased market share, which will weaken the monetary policy transmission through credit channels. The estimation results from the two methods of competitiveness measurement-the Lerner index and the Boone index–are in a united direction but at different levels.

Creditor rights, monetary policy, financial crisis, and trade credit

This article analyses how creditor rights affect the trade credit channel of monetary policy. We also aim to test whether these effects were conditioned by the global financial crisis of 2008. Using a sample of 15,356 firms from 29 countries (2001–2017), we found that in normal times or in countries not very severely affected by the financial crisis, trade credit receivables increase during monetary restrictions. Moreover, this increase is less pronounced as creditor protection strengthens. In countries strongly affected by the financial crisis, however, trade credit receivables do not react or even decrease after monetary expansions, regardless of the degree of creditor protection. Furthermore, the results of trade credit payables and net trade credit are not conclusive. JEL CLASSIFICATION: E52; K22; G32
