Quarterly selection of articles - Bulletin de la Banque de France, 2011, issue 24, 69-90

Abstract: Payment periods have significantly shortened since the LME came into effect. In 2010, this trend continued, albeit at a slower pace. There is still a high risk of companies passing on cash flow difficulties to other companies.

Keywords: payment periods; days sales outstanding (DSO); days payable outstanding (DPO); trade credit; trade credit balance; LME. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
