Insolvencies in Canada in 2004: Global view
|
| Published on : (2005-02-28) |
In 2004, business insolvencies were down by over 6.0% for the third year in a row. During 2004, the number of new business cases filed with the OSB was 9,856, down by 7.6% compared with 2003.
|
|
In 2004, there was a 0.4% decline in the number of new insolvency cases filed with the OSB. The number of new consumer insolvency cases increased by 0.3%, whereas the number of new business insolvency cases decreased by 7.6%. Overall, this good performance was due to the favourable economic climate, which should continue to prevail into 2005. In addition, certain forecasters now believe that interest rates could continue to abate moderately until late 2005 and start an upward trend in early 2006. Therefore, the changes in the insolvency picture are expected to be modest in 2005. However, strong regional variations are likely to continue.
