Abstract: Using the World Bank Enterprise Surveys, we investigate the prevalence and correlates of collateralized borrowing in 131 countries between 2005-2017. Overall, 77 percent of loans require collateral, and the median loan-to-collateral value is 60 percent. Small firms and loans from non-bank financial institutions are less often associated with collateral. When collateral is pledged, the type of collateral assets is strongly correlated with the loan-to-value ratio.
