Non-financial corporations in the opening phase of the financial crisis

This Statistics in Focus analyses the financial behaviour of non-financial corporations in the European Union up to 2008. Taking into account the important changes in financial markets that occurred in this year, it is important to analyze how these changes affected net financial wealth of non financial corporations (including both assets and liabilities) and if the beginning of the crisis has had an impact on the credit access of companies. As it will be seen, both variables were affected by the crisis.
