The number of corporate insolvencies in Germany rose to its highest level in 13 years in the first half of 2026, with 12,812 cases registered. This marks a 6.7% increase from the previous year. The transport and logistics sector, along with the hospitality and construction industries, were particularly hard hit. Experts warn that the wave of bankruptcies could continue due to high energy and labor costs, and excessive bureaucracy.
