According to OPTEN's data, a total of 14,265 companies faced liquidation proceedings in Hungary in 2025. This amounts to an average of 39 companies per day. Liquidation means that a company ceases to exist and its assets are sold in order to pay off its debts to creditors.
The data show that the number of liquidation proceedings affects many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. OPTEN is a company that examines the financial situation and payment capacity of companies, so its statistics provide important information about the state of the economy.

Liquidation proceedings do not always mean that a company ceases to exist completely. Some businesses may still be able to continue operating during the process, although this occurs less frequently. Experts say that continuous monitoring is important for creditors and partners so that they can recognise risks in time.
Overall, the 2025 data show that there was significant movement in Hungary's business sector over the past year. The latest statistics help to understand the challenges facing Hungarian companies.
