Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reveal the commercial credit policy adopted by Romanian companies and its influence on the level of liquidity, analyzed using absolute measure indicators – net cash – and relative measure indicators – the immediate liquidity ratio. 50 companies quoted in the Bucharest Stock Exchange have been selected, based on the annual financial statements for the period 2006-2008. It is one of the few studies that aim at analyzing longitudinally the commercial credit policy adopted by Romanian companies. The study reveals that average payment delays of the debts to the providers is higher than the average customer debt collection, but the commercial credit policy does not exert any significant influence over the liquidity of the analyzed companies.
