Abstract: Late payments are a structural weakness of companies in the French overseas territories. By accelerating the recovery of trade receivables, the health crisis has led to a significant reduction in the cash flow needs associated with payment times. However, companies facing the longest payment times did not benefit from this improvement.

Les retards de paiement constituent une faiblesse structurelle des entreprises ultramarines. En incitant à accélérer le recouvrement des créances clients, la crise sanitaire a permis une baisse significative du besoin de trésorerie lié aux délais de paiement. Néanmoins, les entreprises confrontées aux retards les plus longs n’ont pas bénéficié de cet allègement.
