Germany bankruptcy cases up 13% in September
Bankruptcies among companies in Germany increased by 13% year-on-year in September 2026, totaling 1,666 cases, compared to the same month in the previous year. This represents a significant rise of 85% compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Although economic growth forecasts for Germany have improved to 1.3% in 2026, driven by increased exports and government spending, businesses—especially in the manufacturing sector—continue to face pressures from rising energy costs, raw material prices, and underutilization of production capacities. The number of bankruptcies in the services sector also reached its highest level since statistical records began in 2020, with the number of affected jobs dropping by 10%. Nonetheless, challenges persist, largely linked to volatile energy prices and geopolitical developments.
