This research investigates the effect of credit restrictions and fiscal stress on the relationship between individualization and investment in municipalities in Brazil. The sample consisted of 5,484 municipalities with data between 2015 and 2020 and a total of 26,288 year-long observations. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that debt has a negative effect on public investment. Fiscal stress moderates levels and expands this relationship. The credit constraint is not significant in explaining investment. The study contributes to explaining the impact of fiscal stress on the municipal financial condition.
