“…To effectively preserve flexibility and ensure sufficient financial resources, firms must possess a certain level of financial expertise (Hao et al, 2022). This expertise plays a crucial role in mitigating the adverse impacts of uncertainty, capitalizing on opportunities, enhancing innovation efficiency, and ultimately strengthening competitive advantage (Aljuneidi et al, 2023). Therefore, firms have an incentive to reduce economic uncertainty and financial constraints through board financial expertise, whether for financial flexibility or investment efficiency.…”

The environment for enterprise external financing has deteriorated recently, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, which has severely restricted enterprise external financing options. Therefore, it is essential to implement efficient financial methods to encourage business growth. This paper intends to investigate the moderating effect of board financial expertise on the relationship between flexibility and investment efficiency of listed companies in Egypt. This study includes moderator and control variables to produce an empirical model and findings that are more reliable based on 592 sample observations collected as annual secondary data from 2014 to 2021. Generalized least squares, logistic regression, and panel-corrected standard error were employed in the analysis. Results indicate that a higher board financial expert’s ratio decreases investment efficiency and has a moderating effect on financial flexibility and investment efficiency. High proportions of flexibility affect investment efficiency. Robustness checks confirm the negative effect of board financial expertise on the relationship between flexibility and investment efficiency. In unpredictable times, financial flexibility can help firms meet capital needs and boost the effectiveness of their investment decisions. Therefore, to increase investment efficiency and support firm growth, firms should maintain their financial flexibility while tightening internal controls.

“…En este sentido, la crisis del COVID-19 desencadenó procesos económicos inesperados a nivel mundial como la crisis de suministros (Aljuneidi et al, 2023;Babu y Yadav, 2023;Fan et al, 2023) y la inflación galopante (Aharon et al, 2023;Grigoli y Pugacheva, 2023;Nascimento y Matheus, 2023), que en conjunto han ralentizado el crecimiento de las economías hegemónicas y con esto a la economía global, lo cual ha motivado a las empresas multinacionales y a los gobiernos a tomar diversas medidas para tratar de salir de este impasse económico (Sánchez et al, 2021). En el caso de las empresas trasnacionales asentadas en China han tenido que relocalizar su producción (Liu y Yu, 2022;Xie et al, 2023;Zhang et al, 2020), mientras que en el caso de la mayoría de los gobiernos tuvieron que implementar una combinación de medidas de política económica en los ámbitos fiscal, monetario y cambiario para impulsar la economía, pero también para controlar las presiones inflacionarias y de devaluación cambiaria que se manifestaron a escala global a fines del año de 2021 y en todo el 2022.…”

The article focuses on analyzing the potential of "nearshoring," that is, outsourcing services and production to nearby countries, to strengthen the Mexican economy. Through a descriptive and qualitative methodology, the theoretical-methodological aspects related to the variants of nearshoring and the advantages offered by state participation in the economy are examined. The study highlights the growing global trend towards foreign direct investment. It underlines how Mexico has benefited from relocation to geographically close areas, driven by factors such as its proximity to the United States, the T-MEC, and key logistical connections, such as the transisthmian train linking the Pacific Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico. It is also noted that national and international indebtedness processes have led Mexico into a virtuous circle, requiring the authorities to focus strategically on identifying and meeting the logistics needs of foreign companies and the population itself.
