Sažetak
The effects of the 2008 financial and economic crisis significantly affected the European market resulting in economic downturns, unemployment and decrease in national GDPs in many European countries. In this paper, we analyzed firms’ financial behavior before, during and upon the crisis as well as the manner in which large European firms adjusted their structure of capital to fight the effects of the financial crises. We observe changes in the financial position of 661 large firms in the European wholesale and retail industry. Findings indicate that the financial leverage ratio substantially changed during the observed period (2005-2014) as a result of firms` adjustments to market shocks. The firms turned to self raised funding and financial restructuring.
