Abstract
The article dwells upon the analysis of capital structure of enterprises at different levels of capital market development. The author identified capital structure peculiarities of Ukrainian, Polish and German enterprises by comparing their capital structures in aggregate and grouped according to type of economic activity and size. The study identified that German and Ukrainian enterprises had a high level of financial leverage whereas Polish enterprises maintained a balance between debt and equity financing during the analyzed period. High financial leverage of German enterprises was caused by developed bank lending market which is not the case for Ukrainian enterprises, high financial leverage of which was the result of a lack of internal sources of finance due to low level of retained earnings.
