Bankruptcy challenges and the role of credit insurance

Market Developments
Recent figures from the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) show a sharp increase in bankruptcies by 2023. 3,271 companies went belly up, more than half that of the previous year. This increase reflects the challenging economic conditions following the global corona crisis, with companies facing rising debtor balances due to deferred payments, resulting in increasing uncertainty.
Credit Insurance
Credit insurance protects businesses from bankruptcy and defaults by their debtors. With a 30% increase in bankruptcies in the last month of last year (December 2023 compared to November 2023), credit insurance should be a regular part of companies’ insurance portfolios today. In fact, in addition to coverage on buyer default or bankruptcy, credit insurance offers many other options:
- Professionalization of accounts receivable management,
- Facilitate obtaining financing,
- Improve cash flow and if the situation calls for it:
- Co-insuring collection costs.
