Considerada por muitos um factor de agravamento do fosso entre os países periféricos e os do núcleo da ZE, vários autores têm-se debruçado sobre as repercussões da crise financeira global no acesso das PME a financiamento externo. Através duma análise comparativa incidente nos casos português e alemão, o presente TFM aborda esta questão, analisando a evolução dos empréstimos bancários para as PME destes dois países, e tenta descortinar quais as determinantes que podem justificar as diferenças observadas nos dois momentos temporais identificados na investigação, nomeadamente em 2008/2009 e em 2011/2012. Os dados secundários utilizados sugerem que a evolução do nível de actividade económica é a variável que melhor parece explicar a evolução dos empréstimos em ambos os países. Contudo, verifica-se alguma restrição do lado da oferta de empréstimos para as PME portuguesas, não observável na Alemanha. Esta constatação evidencia a maior dificuldade de PME portuguesas viáveis se financiarem a condições favoráveis à recuperação económica e crescimento sustentável deste país.
Considered by many a contributing factor to the widening of the gap between peripheral countries and the ones from the EA core, several authors have been focusing on the impacts of the global financial crisis in SME access to external financing. Using a comparative analysis based on the Portuguese and German cases, this master thesis studies this problem, analyzing the evolution of bank loans for SME from these countries, while trying to encounter the root causes of the observed differences between the two time periods considered in the investigation, namely the years of 2008/2009 and 2011/2012. The secondary data used suggests that the evolution of the level of economic activity is the variable that better seems to explain the evolution of loans in both countries. However, there are some restrictions in loan approvals for Portuguese SME, which are not verified in the German side. This fact reinforces the greater difficulty of viable Portuguese SME in obtaining financing, in conditions favorable to the economic recovery and sustainable growth of Portugal.
