Bankruptcies; flow data, 1981-2011

This publication gives an overview of petitioned, pronounced, ANNULLED and ended bank ruptures. Usually, a bankruptcy starts with a petition submitted by one or more creditors or voluntarily. Bankruptcies can also be decreed by the Public Prosecutor (in the public interest). A bankruptcy can also be decreed by the court, if the debtor is denied suspension of payment or the Sanction of the Agreement. Bankruptcy petitions are also used to collect payment from unwilling Debtors. Data available from 1981 to 2011. Status of the figures: All figures are definite.
