Namibia: Firms that are fully credit constrained

14.09percent · 2024

Firms are categorized as fully credit constrained if they do not have access to external finance, and any of the following two conditions are met: (1) the firm did not apply for a loan for any reason other than the lack of need for it; or (2) the firm applied for a loan but the application was rejected, even when it has access to equity financing. This indicator is based on Islam and Rodriguez Meza (2023, Islam, Asif Mohammed and Jorge Luis Rodriguez Meza. “How Prevalent Are Credit-Constrained Firms in the Formal Private Sector? Evidence Using Global Surveys”. World Bank Policy Research Working Paper; no. WPS 10502). Annual figures for Namibia from 2024 to 2024.
