Overview

This study demonstrates that cash-flow discipline and budgeting rigor improve liquidity and lower APR in MSMEs, highlighting effective finance management.

Key Points

  • A one-standard-deviation increase in cash-flow discipline adds about 6.2 liquidity buffer days and decreases effective APR by approximately 120 basis points.
  • Improvements in budgeting rigor cut APR by around 90 basis points and extend time-to-liquidity-shortfall by nearly 1.8 weeks, benefiting MSMEs significantly.
  • The study utilized a sequential explanatory design, with data from three panel waves to assess effects of routine financial practices on MSME outcomes.
  • Results suggest that capability-coupled finance is more effective than generic credit expansion, urging lenders to prioritize verifiable financial discipline.
