Insolvencies forecast to surge 37% in 2022

New figures from the Office for National Statistics show that UK inflation reached a rate of 9 per cent in the year to April 2022, up from a rate of 7 per cent in March. Rising inflation, the cost-of-living crisis and the unwinding of government support are now being predicted to drive an ongoing increase in business insolvencies during 2022.

 

The news of the 40-year inflation high comes as credit insurer Allianz Trade predicts that UK business insolvencies will increase 37 per cent this year. According to Allianz Trade, sectors including construction, utilities and business services are leading this resurgence in insolvencies.

 

This rapid increase, Allianz Trade says, will see the UK become the first major European economy to return to pre-pandemic levels of insolvencies, after collapses were kept to a minimum due to emergency government measures and protections during the pandemic.
