What happened
Global insolvencies are projected to increase by 5% in 2026 due to high input costs, trade tensions, elevated energy prices, and tighter financing conditions. Despite this, regional insolvencies are expected to decline by 5% in Europe and 3% in North America.
Why it matters
The regional decline in insolvencies reflects a gradual adjustment by businesses to a challenging economic environment, rather than a significant improvement in business conditions. Atradius noted that insolvencies have been more persistent than anticipated earlier this year.
