Avaliação da concentração do crédito BNDES para as empresas do setor sucroalcooleiro brasileiro entre 2002 e 2018

Abstract

The goal of the paper was to investigate how BNDES credit was distributed to the 100 largest companies, considering the 2012/2013 harvest, in sugarcane crushing, in the Brazilian sugar and alcohol sector in the period from 2002 to 2018. In addition, a comparative measurement was carried out considering the granting of BNDES credit and the amount of crushed sugarcane, the concentration ratio and the Gini coefficient. Lorenz curves were also constructed comparatively. In all the indicators measured, there was greater concentration and inequality in the granting of credit to the largest companies in relation to the smaller ones. Asymmetry was also observed in relation to access to credit, with the larger companies having greater access in relation to the smaller ones. All ten largest companies have borrowed from the BNDES. Of the fifty largest, thirty-two received credit from the BNDES. From the fifty-first to the hundredth group, seven companies received credit.
