Bankruptcy rate edges back up
A total 3,793 companies have gone bankrupt so far this year, almost as many as in the first six months of 2009, when bankruptcies reached record levels, Nos television reports.
In 2009, 3,936 companies went bust in the first half of the year, more than double the 2008 total.
In particular, construction firms are being hard hit this time round, curator Marcel Theunis told the broadcaster.
