Impactos da pandemia de covid-19 nos indicadores econômicos e financeiros: uma análise do setor bancário

Abstract

The present study aimed at analysing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the economic and financial indexes presented by the Brazilian banking sector companies. In order to carry out this research, both quantitative and descriptive approaches were used. The data collection was performed together with the database Economatica®, comprising the selection of economic and financial indexes presented by the twenty-four banks that were part of the research sampling during the period from 2015 to 2020. The data was analysed through the statistical software Stata®. Results revealed that the indexes of General and Current Liquidity presented the highest averages in the year of 2020. On the other hand, regarding the profitability indexes the decrease in the Liquid Margin could be seen in the year 2020, thus influencing other indexes, which are related to this one. Therefore, it could be concluded that COVID-19 pandemic has affected both the economic and financial indexes in the banking sector positively as well as negatively.
