Foreign investment has an important role in the economy, especially in developing countries.

To test the hypothesis, multiple regression analysis was used with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that disclosure of foreign ownership (BS) had a positive and significant effect on debt leverage. In addition, this study also found that variable asset management (AM) has a negative but not significant effect on debt leverage. The results of this study provide information that indicates that foreign ownership further increases the level of asset adjustment in overleveraged companies.
