The
self-employed
are one of the business groups that have suffered the most from the crisis derived from the covid, which has caused
1,446 to
have had to enter into
bankruptcy
so far this year,
263% more
than those who resorted to this instrument in 2020.
The figure is much higher than the total of freelancers who declared themselves insolvent in 2020 (398) and also quadruples the number of freelancers who entered the competition in the year before the pandemic, 326, according to data collected by the
Registry of Forensic Economists
( REFOR, attached to the General Council of Economists) in its 'Bankruptcy Atlas' published this Tuesday.
This represents a
year-on-year increase of 263%
in
self-employed competitions
, much higher than the 8% increase that has occurred in competitions for individuals or consumers (2,775 so far this year, compared to 2,555 in 2020) or 1.2% increase in company tenders (3,169 in the first ten months of the year).
By
2022
, the Registry foresees that there will be "a greater increase in competitions for individuals and the self-employed, many of them or the vast majority for
second chances
."
The
number of contests
that have been presented in our country is still
low compared to the rest of European countries
.
In 2020 - the last year for which there is complete data -
4,097 contests
were presented in Spain
, compared to
32,000 in France
, 17,000 in Germany, 12,000 in the United Kingdom, 7,000 in Italy or almost 7,000 in Portugal.
The country with the highest increase in insolvencies in the world
However, despite the fact that Spain continues to lag behind in the use of this resource by companies, in 2021 it is the country in which there has been the
greatest increase in the number of insolvencies
, growing by
24%.
They are followed by the Czech Republic (+ 14%), Romania (+ 11%), South Africa (+ 10%), Hong Kong (+ 7%) or Turkey (+ 6%).
In the rest of the countries analyzed, the number of insolvencies decreased in 2021 compared to 2020.
By
2022
, the Registry expects Spain to be
among the ten countries
in the world
with the highest increase in insolvencies, with 26%.
However, next year there will be six countries with a higher increase than Spain in insolvencies: Italy (+ 34%), United Kingdom (+ 33%), Australia (+ 33%), Finland (+ 29%), Singapore (+ 28%) and the Netherlands (26%).
