Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to examine the relationship between trade credit and the debt burden of publicly traded companies in Bulgaria during the period 2018-2024. The analyzed period covers the time before the crisis caused by the coronavirus, the pandemic and the recovery period after it. The results of the study show that companies that are net debtors of trade credit are more indebted and experience a greater debt service burden regardless of economic conditions.
