Japan is facing a surge in bankruptcies, reaching levels not seen since 2013. In the first half of 2024, 4,990 firms declared bankruptcy, reflecting an 18.6% increase from the previous year. Rising costs have been a significant factor driving this trend, highlighting the challenges businesses are facing in the current economic climate.
Japan is currently seeing the highest number of bankruptcies in a decade.
Nothing to see here.
