| Content | Graydon Index of Newly Created Enterprises-F (GINCE-F) still shows a particularly precarious situation
SUMMARY:
Since the beginning of this year, month after month, an ever increasing number of enterprises is being established and this in comparison to the same months of the year 2009. During the first five months of this year, 31.321 new enterprises in total were started, which is 1.923 (+6,54%) more than in the same period last year. Expressed in relative numbers, the Brussels-Capital Region (+9,9%) and the Walloon Region show a clear growth, whereas the growth within the Flemish Region stagnates at a limited level.
The GINCE-F shows that the economic potential engendered by the renewed
affluence of young enterprises, is in a large measure annulled by the destruction of the economic value subsequent to the continuous increase of the number of bankruptcies.
Bankruptcies keep piling up records. In the previous month of June, 985 enterprises have gone bust: the toughest month of June ever and the toughest but two months ever. It is striking that during the first semester of this year, each single month has blown down its own monthly record.
During this year’s first semester an absolute record is registered as far as bankruptcies are concerned. In six months’ time, 5.283 enterprises went bust: 248 more than in the same period last year (+4,92%) during which a new record was already set.
In The Netherlands, however, bankruptcies show a downward tendency.
Expressed in absolute numbers, the number of bankruptcies is particularly preponderant in Flanders.
Within the ‘post and courier services’ subsector, for every 50 active enterprises one bankruptcy was registered in six months’ time . Within the catering sector, it concerns one for every 55 enterprises . As far as enterpises within the sanitation sector are concerned, we count one bankruptcy for every 76 active enterprises.
