BIG: fewer entrepreneurs complain about payment delays

In the first quarter of 2019 the overall number of delayed payments decreased, according to a survey on payment gridlocks, carried out on behalf of debt registry BIG InfoMonitor. As indicated, the situation is most favorable in the industry, where just 43 percent enterprises experience problems with contractors' unpredictability, and the worst in construction and transport – over 60 percent has problems.

Surveys also indicate that even though the share of enterprises waiting for at least two months for payment diminishes, there are more companies that complain about shorter delays in payment – by more than 30 days. At present, almost two out of three companies have this problem, according to the study. (PAP)
