Allianz Trade's Surprising Bankruptcy Prediction: The Year 2026 is Critical!

Allianz Trade, as a significant player in the field of trade credit insurance globally, has provided a striking analysis on the future of bankruptcies. In the recently published Bankruptcy Report, the effects of U.S. customs duties and changing global trade routes on bankruptcies are comprehensively addressed. This report not only presents bankruptcy forecasts for the year 2026, but also includes updates for 2027.

According to the report, 2026 is marked as the year when bankruptcies are expected to peak worldwide. Allianz Trade forecasts a 6% increase in global bankruptcies starting from 2025. This increase indicates the fifth consecutive year of rising bankruptcies, with a predicted 5% rise in 2026, suggesting that commercial bankruptcies will reach their highest level.

The reshaping of global trade and changes in customs tariffs are impacting the daily operations of many sectors. Allianz Trade warns that the destructive effects of these changes on financial robustness will become more pronounced. The data in the report highlights the increasing risks faced by businesses while also providing significant insights into how this situation will affect the trade credit insurance sector.

This analysis, which has become an important reference source in the financial world, is expected to guide business professionals in their decision-making processes. It is particularly noted that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to revisit their financial strategies. The data mentioned in Allianz Trade's report underscores the high level of uncertainty in the markets and the risk of bankruptcies, making it a pressing need for firms to strengthen their risk management and financial planning processes.
