Infrastructure development has been almost completed in the areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, and the so-called "special demand for reconstruction" is being settled.
Under these circumstances, in the three prefectures of Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima, there are about 2,200 construction companies that are highly likely to go bankrupt within a year, and the ratio of the total construction companies to the total number of construction companies is higher than the national average. I found out by the analysis of the research company.
The credit bureau "Teikoku Databank" analyzes financial data of 19,180 construction companies headquartered in Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefectures, and determines how likely they are to go bankrupt within a year. I evaluated it in stages.
As a result, as of January, a total of 2187 companies were classified into the 7th to 10th stages, which are considered to have a high risk of bankruptcy, accounting for 11.4% of the total.
This was 1.3 points higher than the national average of 10.1%, and there were 179 companies evaluated as the 10th stage with the highest risk of bankruptcy.
In the disaster area, the management of construction companies has improved due to the demand for reconstruction work after the earthquake, but the construction work is almost completed except for nuclear power plants, and it is expected that the number of companies whose management situation is becoming severe is increasing. I will.
Keiji Konno, Deputy Director of Information Department, Teikoku Databank Sendai Branch, said, "There is no doubt that special reconstruction demand will be a powerful engine for companies affected by the disaster, but the effect will not last long. I don't think it's strange to increase it anytime. "
