This decrease is above all due to the reduction in the number of bankruptcies of persons registered in the trade register (-12.3%). At the same time, financial losses resulting from bankruptcy settlements increased considerably (+33.3%), reaching CHF 2.5 billion. These are the latest findings of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) on debt collection and bankruptcy.
