ECONOMIC SHOCKS AND THEIR IMPACT ON CORPORATE FINANCIAL INDICATORS: EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS IN HUNGARY

The study examines the impact of different economic shocks on corporate financial indicators. It uses a dataset of 4396 observations to assess the strength and significance of the relationship between different economic shocks and key financial indicators such as liquidity, solvency and profitability. The analysis reveals that recessionary exogenous shocks are the most common and are significantly associated with a number of financial indicators. The results suggest that while most financial indicators show weak correlations with economic shocks, some, such as ROA and wage levels, show medium sensitivity. These insights can help firms in strategic planning and risk management during economic downturns.
