Determinantes del riesgo de la fragilidad financiera de las cooperativas del segmento 1 en Tungurahua

Abstract

This study aims to understand the determinants of the financial fragility risk of segment 1 cooperatives in Tungurahua. This is due to the significant importance of these organizations in the central part of the country and the province. To achieve this goal, the financial situation of segment 1 cooperatives in Tungurahua was evaluated, using their key financial indicators to perform a diagnosis of their situation for the period 2015-2023. Subsequently, to explain the factors influencing the financial fragility risk of segment 1 cooperatives in Tungurahua, a logit linear probability model was used. The main results of the study identified three key variables: administrative efficiency, investments, and money supply. This finding highlights the importance of efficient management for the stability of cooperatives, enabling better resource allocation and a greater ability to face financial challenges.
