The analysis was conducted with 102 companies in Antioquia and 65 in Valle, which made this an ongoing report.

This result was found to be unsatisfactory to make predictions, but when operating cash flows were added to financing, the statistical relationship increased to 0.740 in Antioquia, and Valle de Cauca to 0.818; more precise data to make cash flow prediction.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> due to the direct relationship between the cash flows of industrial sector companies in Antioquia and Valle del Cauca and the regional economic growth, it is possible to make predictions of future cash flows for companies in this sector.</p> ER -
