When climate policies waver: Firms, debt, and the investment-financing maturity mismatch
Addressing the mismatch between corporate investments and financing maturities is essential for safeguarding against systemic financial risks. In this study, we investigate the impact of climate policy uncertainty (CPU) on corporate investment-financing maturity mismatch using data from Chinese A-share companies from 2007 to 2022. Findings indicate that increased CPU exacerbates the mismatch, prompting firms to rely more on short-term borrowing to finance long-term investments. CPU deteriorates the financing environment and amplifies information asymmetry, thereby intensifying the mismatch. Firms with weaker climate resilience are particularly vulnerable. Our results offer significant insights into the financial risks posed by CPU.
