The Scottish Government has just released the latest insolvency statistics for the period April to June 2019. These show that there has been a 20% increase in personal insolvencies since last year but current levels remain below historic peaks in 2006-2007 and 2013-2014.
In relation to corporate insolvency, the AIB which produces the Scottish statistics monitors only liquidation, and not administration show a 9.4% increase on last year.
These figures could show that current economic and political factors are having an impact, driving both personal and corporate insolvency upwards.
