Faillissementen Nederland 2022

By April 2022 (reference date 10-5-2022), a total of 106* bankruptcies have been declared. That's 79 fewer than the number of bankruptcies last month, March 2022 (185). In April 2021, the number was higher. Then 141 companies went bankrupt. With 206 bankruptcies, November 2021 is the month with the most bankruptcies in the past 12 months. Since the beginning of the corona crisis, the number of bankruptcies has been low, even lower than before the corona crisis. This is a result of government support to ensure that normally healthy organizations stay afloat during the crisis. A side effect of these support packages is that financially unhealthy organizations also do not go bankrupt.
