Number of corporate bankruptcies in Austria slightly declined in the second quarter of 2026

The causes of the decline are not elaborated in detail in the summary. Observers generally refer to cyclical conditions, without specific factors being named in the available facts.

Compared to the previous quarter, the number of corporate bankruptcies was 4.1 percent lower. In the year-on-year comparison, the decrease amounts to 3 percent, as emerges from the cited statistics.

Classification of the figures

The data was distributed via the news agency APA and fed into several media reports. According to the summary, the source situation is based on two corroborating sources.

For the coming quarters, the cited statistics do not expect an immediate trend statement. The available facts are limited to the documented changes in the second quarter of 2026.

Delimitation of the statistics

Company registrations and insolvency statistics are regularly collected in Austria. The current decline is described in the summary as a slight improvement compared to the same period of the previous year.

Overall, the figures signal a stabilization at a somewhat lower level than in the previous periods. However, the economic situation is not further assessed in the statistics.

The evaluation refers exclusively to corporate insolvencies and not to private insolvencies or other economic indicators. The scope of the statistics is thus clearly delimited.
