Last year, 9,823 companies went bankrupt in Belgium. This represents a 42-percent rise on the year, but 2021 was atypical in this respect due to the corona support measures from the government. The latest number is still below the figures from before the corona pandemic, figures from Graydon Creditsafe reveal.
