The path of the economy has been bumpy in the last decade The purpose of the EBRD's (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) annual publication "Transition Report" is to facilitate the transition to a market economy and promote entrepreneurship in the countries in which the EBRD invests. The title of the 2022-2023 publication (Business Unusual) suggests that there is no going back to the business going on until 2019. But what does this have to do with zombies? Anyone interested in spoilers for the Walking Dead series will unfortunately be disappointed.
In this article, I will Buy Bulk SMS Service scrutinize one of the five main chapters of the EBRD study (Corporate debt and business dynamism) in order to show how the Covid epidemic may have affected the corporate microclimate and the maintenance of unviable companies, i.e. zombification. The question is particularly exciting, because zombie companies were talked about before CovidI wrote an analysis, where I determined based on a previous study that the low interest rate environment supported zombification. It is a consequence of the age of cheap loans As a result of the shocks of the past decade and a half and their management, the issuance of subsidized, cheap corporate loans has increased greatly, and debts have increased to record levels.
The global debt stock rose to around 228 percent of global GDP in 2019, which is around 30-40 percentage points higher than the level experienced during the 2008 financial crisis (and this does not yet include the impact of economic policy measures caused by Covid). As a result of Covid, the global debt stock in proportion to GDP rose to close to 255 percent by 2020, while it decreased to 247 percent by 2021. This indicator varies greatly according to regional distribution, but in general.
