RMIS – Monitoring – RM Scoreboard Laboratory: Financing Indicator  Figure 3 presents the significant decline of the returns on invested        Figure 1 shows the evolution of debt-to-equity ratio in the companies capital for both world and EU-based companies operating in the               operating in metals and mining sector (total) and two sub-sectors, i.e., precious metals and base metals, which more than doubled in 2016 compared metals and mining sector over the period 2010- 2015. This indicator with 2010 for the companies considered. This ratio’s uptrend indicates companies’ is relevant for capital-intensive sectors as it shows to capital providers   increasing reliance on debts for securing their finance and a smaller proportion of the quality of companies’ investments and thus their attractiveness.         equity to the companies’ assets.  The downtrend reversed in 2016, both for world and EU-based                 The upward debt-to-equity ratio trend reversed in 2016 (except base metals), partly company aggregates.                                                          driven by the increasing share of equity in companies’ total assets.
