More than 2,500 businesses have gone broke this year, which is around 36 per cent higher than a year earlier.
The combination of higher interest rates, subdued demand for discretionary goods and the ongoing woes for the building industry are combining, to push more companies into insolvency.
ARITA CEO John Winter says there’s a “significant part of catchup” going on from the pandemic, which plays a role in insolvencies.
Mr Winter said in a normal economic cycle, there are probably about 10,000 companies that “would’ve gone broke” during the pandemic period.
