Allianz Research: increasing number of Polish companies going bankrupt
According to Allianz Research, Poland recorded the fastest rise in corporate insolvencies among 44 analyzed markets, with a surge of 499% versus the 2016–2019 average – far exceeding neighboring countries. This is surprising given improving macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth and consumer demand. The spike is driven by falling profit margins across sectors, high real interest rates, weak exports due to stagnation in Germany, rising labor costs, and relatively high energy prices.
Another key factor is Poland’s liberalized restructuring law, which makes formal restructuring easier and more common. As a result, part of the surge may reflect legal reporting effects rather than pure economic collapse alone.
