So far, no significant increase in companies struggling to pay their bills has been observed. However, the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) expects this to change over the coming months.
Besides bankruptcies in the financial sector, March mainly saw declarations from the industries of commerce, Horesca, and scientific activities.
In addition to 116 bankruptcies, there were also 183 liquidations in March.
The figures by the Ministry of Justice were published by STATEC on Wednesday.
