“[…] In the upcoming year, there will probably be a catch-up effect in insolvencies, the strength of which, however, is still unclear. The discrepancy between the expected number of insolvencies in 2020 – an increase of about 15 percent would be plausible in view of the economic development – and the actual decline leads to a difference of 4,500 fewer insolvencies than expected. One explanation is that these are so-called zombie companies, which are not economically viable but are still active in the market. […]”

“The Bundesbank forecasts an increase to over 6,000 corporate insolvencies per quarter by the beginning of 2021. The credit agency Creditreform comes to a similar conclusion, assuming a total of up to 24,000 procedures in the coming year. In 2019, the figure was around 18,750. Especially in sectors particularly affected by Corona, such as the hotel and travel industry, gastronomy, the event industry and stationary retail, business closures and bankruptcies could accumulate.”
“The consequences of the corona pandemic have had a noticeable impact on German companies: The economic downturn has caused one of the biggest economic slumps of the post-war period. […]“
“So far, the effects of the crisis have not been reflected in rising insolvencies in the corporate sector. This is due not least to crisis-related government measures and special regulations, in particular the temporary suspension of the obligation to file for insolvency. In the future, however, the number of insolvencies and market exits by companies is likely to increase. […]”
A corporate crisis can affect anyone. Especially in economically difficult times, valid long-term forecasts are often no longer possible. Contradictory signals from politics and volatile markets suddenly put concepts that were viable for years and considered future-proof into question.
If such developments are not recognised early enough and dealt with precisely, companies can quickly find themselves in troubled waters and face the threat of insolvency. This applies particularly to companies that were still healthy and well positioned in the market at the beginning of the year.
To prevent this from happening in the first place, efficient and accurate risk management is essential. It is important to understand and recognise the company as a developing organism. This is the only way to respond in a controlled way to economically difficult times.
