Abstract

The aim of the study is to explore the interaction effect of macroeconomics indicators, and working capital flows on financial performance in a developing economy. By using the static and dynamic approach of panel analysis, it has been shown that there is a relationship between the components of working capital and the gross profit and cash conversion duration. Second, while interest rates used as an interaction variable with the average payable days have adverse effects, firm performance would decrease if interest rates increase. The average payable duration extends; instead of primarily regressing, the average payable period positively correlates with firm performance. The conversion cycle of cash has a negative relationship, but it reverses its actions after using interest rate interaction. There is a negative relationship with gross profit in the simple regression exchange rate and cash conversion cycle while using the second interaction variable with the cash conversion cycle, has positive effects. In addition, the exchange rate gets higher to increase the cash conversion length, financial performance will be increased. In addition, the exchange rate gets higher to increase the cash conversion length, financial performance will be increased. This study receives new results, the exchange rate increases, companies that can pay early to payable will get higher firm performance while exchange rate and the interest rate have a significant role in changing the firm performance.

Highlights

  • The energy sector has contributed significantly to economic growth (Tran et al, 2020)

  • By using the static and dynamic approach of panel analysis, and firm-level dataset from 2013 to 2018, empirical results show that the firm either does not efficiently control current assets or has sufficient funds from companies to tackle advantageous schemes

  • This indicates that huge profits are connected to low exchange rates, it is further rationale to investigate that the fuel and energy industry accounts for most of its foreign exchange inputs and local currency turnover in cases of excessive exchange rates
