Delayed bankruptcies of Swiss companies likely to occur in 2022 and onwards

November 23, 2021
An analysis by global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) found that many bankruptcies and insolvencies in Switzerland did not occur in 2020 and 2021 due to financial state aid measures of a total value of CHF 42 billion and other supporting measures granted since the beginning of the pandemic. Although 2020 was a year of economic contraction, the number of bankruptcies and insolvencies in Switzerland (as in many other countries) declined by almost 20% compared to 2019. The financial position of Swiss companies has also worsened due to an increase in debt or drop of liquidity and a decline in earnings. With the end of the financial state measures in early 2022, the Swiss economy may face a rise in the number of bankruptcies and insolvencies.
