December 2024 Insights

In December 2024, registered company insolvencies reached 1,838, marking a 6% decrease from November 2024 but a 14% drop compared to December 2023. The composition of insolvencies in November included:

  • 273 compulsory liquidations (up from November 2024),
  • 1,421 creditors’ voluntary liquidations (CVLs),
  • 127 administrations, and
  • 17 company voluntary arrangements (CVAs).

Key Trends:

  1. Compulsory liquidations showed an increase, continuing a broader trend in 2024 of rising use of this mechanism.
  2. CVLs, while remaining the most prevalent insolvency type, experienced a slight decline compared to November.
  3. Administrations and CVAs remained relatively steady, with a marginal increase in CVAs from November.

This monthly snapshot reflects a stabilising insolvency landscape following heightened activity in 2023, though certain procedures like compulsory liquidations are seeing a resurgence.
