GENDER GAP IN FINANCING OF HUNGARIAN COMPANIES
Access to funding and the level of indebtedness are crucial factors in the financial operations of businesses. Among medium and large enterprises in Hungary, there are observable differences in capital structure and debt service depending on the gender composition of corporate leadership, as reflected in financial characteristics and indicators. This research highlights that such differences are more attributable to variations in risk sensitivity rather than structural barriers. Nonetheless, it remains a fact that even the largest female-led enterprises tend to be smaller in size and exhibit significantly lower financial exposure than their male-led counterparts.
