English abstract This paper describes the ef fects of the 2009 global f inancial crisis on f irms’ access to f inancing for investment projects. The analysis uses data from the Latin American and Caribbean Enterprise Surveys 2006 and 2010, demonstrating that during the crisis, the availability of internal sources was crucial for larger and foreign-owned f irms or f irms that were part of a group, while state-owned f irms did not enjoy any f inancial privileges. F irms sought greater bank and supply-chain f inancing, larger f irms used less internal funds, foreign f irms relied more on internal funds, while f irms that export and import used bank credits more intensively
