Secured debt limits drive investment decisions, reshaping financial landscapes.
The article discusses how companies make decisions about borrowing money and investing in projects. It focuses on a type of debt that is secured by assets, like a house securing a mortgage. This type of debt limits how much a company can borrow based on the value of its assets. Unlike unsecured debt, where a company borrows based on its future cash flow, secured debt is tied to the size of the company's balance sheet.
