Business crisis on the rise: in the third quarter of 2026, judicial liquidations increase by 13.6%
Published
In Italy, the number of companies entering the judicial liquidation procedure has increased significantly. According to data from CRIBIS, the commercial information company of the CRIF group, 2,158 judicial liquidations were recorded in the third quarter of 2026. Compared with the same period in 2025, the increase is 13.6%.
Judicial liquidation is the procedure through which a court establishes that a company is no longer able to pay its debts. In this case, the company's assets are sold to repay creditors, that is, the individuals and businesses to whom the company owes money. This type of procedure concerns economic activities of various sizes and sectors, and the quarterly figure is an important indicator of the health of Italy's productive fabric.
The data therefore show a trend of growing difficulties for companies in the country. For the workers and suppliers of the companies involved, these procedures can have direct consequences, such as the loss of jobs or the non-payment of debts owed to them. Analysts observe that the phenomenon requires attention from those who deal with economics and industrial policy.
In conclusion, the sharp increase in judicial liquidations in the third quarter of 2026 is a signal to be monitored closely in the coming months. Future updates will make it possible to determine whether the trend will continue or whether it is a temporary phenomenon.
