- Abstract
In the fierce competition of the capital market, one of the crucial elements for enterprises to achieve sustainable growth lies in ensuring the reliability and stability of funding supply, which constitutes an indispensable foundation. This paper empirically examines the relationship between corporate information transparency and financial flexibility using a sample of listed A-share companies in Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges from 2009 to 2023. The study finds that information transparency reduces firms’ financial flexibility reserves and its mechanism of action is to alleviate financing constraints. By focusing on information transparency as a corporate governance indicator, this paper offers a fresh perspective on the research of corporate financial flexibility and broadens the scope of studies on information transparency in terms of corporate behaviors and other aspects.
