12/01/2026 - "Month by month, we are witnessing new records in business insolvencies. This is also the case in October 2025 – the highest number of insolvency-related business closures in eleven years.

For the entire year 2025, we expect a total of well over 23,000 insolvencies. To turn the tide on business insolvencies in the still new year of 2026, structural problems urgently need to be addressed that burden businesses: Politics should now immediately implement noticeable relief in taxes, energy prices, and bureaucracy. There is no shortage of political papers with good proposals – much has been written but far too little implemented. The guiding principle for politics must be: Relief now! Only then will there be prospects for a decline in the wave of insolvencies."
