The Effect of Recent Crisis Situations on the Sustainability of Indebtedness of the Manufacturing Sector of Serbia

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of recent crisis situations on debt sustainability in the manufacturing sector of Serbia. Focusing on the economic and financial challenges facing the sector after the crisis, covering the period from 2015 to 2023, the research uses a comprehensive analysis of key indicators such as levels of total, short-term, and long-term debt as well as liquidity and profitability. Examining the dynamics of indebtedness during crisis periods, the study aims to show the resilience and adaptability of the sector to adverse economic conditions. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of the manufacturing sector's ability to sustain indebtedness in times of crisis and inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and financial institutions about potential strategies to enhance financial stability and sustainability within the sector.
