摘要:In 2007, the number of corporate insolvencies in the
EU-15 states plus Norway and Switzerland, which has
been falling for the past three years, dropped to
129,800 cases; the year before, the figure was 6,930
higher. This corresponds to a decline of 5.0 percentage
points. On the other hand, though, the number of
countries now again posting higher insolvency levels
doubled last year to six. The biggest rise, of 20.8 percent
to 2,400 cases, was registered in Denmark. Then
came Luxembourg with an increase of 7.3 percent to
680 (prior year: 634) and France with growth of 5.7
percent to 42,700 bankruptcies (prior year: 40,400).
