About This Statistic
Firms are categorized as partially credit constrained if any of the following conditions are met: (1) the firm applied for a loan and the application was partially approved; (2) the firm applied for a loan and the application was rejected, but the firm has access to external sources of finance excluding any equity finance; or (3) the firm has external finance but did not apply for a loan due to any reason other than no need for it.
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).
MapTheory retains one fixed reference year and unit. Only finite values mapped to ISO 3166-1 numeric codes are included; aggregates, missing values and non-ISO geographies are excluded. No value is estimated, imputed or carried across years.
