Business Closures Not Yet Showing Impact From Insolvency Spike
CANADA DATA
- Previously released business insolvency data have shown a particularly strong rise so far this year, climbing 129% Y/Y in Jan before 122% Y/Y in Feb.
- However, today’s January release for actual business closures suggests the jump in insolvencies hasn’t yet had a meaningful impact on shutting down production, although it should continue to be watched ahead.
- Specifically, business closures continue to trend higher but have only increased 5% Y/Y (after an average 2% Y/Y through 2023) compared to the much stronger insolvencies increase.
