Bankruptcies, Q2 2003

In the 1^{s t} quarter this year, the increase was above 40 per cent compared with the 1^{s t} quarter in 2002. This may indicate that the increase in number of bankruptcies has stopped. The total number of bankruptcies in the first half 2003 is still the highest in the period of the bankruptcy statistics (since 1993).

Low increase in sale and ICT

Compared with the 2^{n d} quarter in 2002, the increase in number of bankruptcies is low in the ICT-sector and in wholesale and retale trade. The number of enterprise bankruptcies in wholesale and retale trade is lower compared with the 2^{n d} quarter in 2002, while the number of personal bankruptcies is slightly higher.
