Posted on Sunday April 15th, 2018 by Tetiana Murovana

This paper examines the dynamics of Ukrainian non-financial firms’ capital structure within a historical perspective. It shows that firm financing since 1990 was a derivative from economic and institutional changes, and current levels of leverage are lower than ones of foreign peers. Whereas in the short-term we can expect some market recovery, long-term dynamics relies almost exclusively on the successof institutional reforms.

Keywords: firm financing; capital structure; financial structure; company capital; financing sources; non-financial companies.
