The number of corporate bankruptcies in Tatarstan continues to decline despite the difficult economic conditions, according to the results of the first half of the year. Experts attribute this to the effect of the moratorium on creditors filing applications for financial insolvency of debtors — it was in effect from April 1 to October 1, 2022 and applied to all business entities, with the exception of developers with problem houses. This year, the number of notifications of creditors about the intention to initiate bankruptcy proceedings of counterparties has already equalled the “home-based” indicators.

The number of personal bankruptcies of Tatarstan citizens in January-June also increased — by almost a quarter, as well as the number of out-of-court bankruptcies of citizens. Read the details in the material of Realnoe Vremya.

Tatarstan is among the leaders in the number of corporate bankruptcies

According to the results of the first half of 2023, 116 reports on the opening of bankruptcy proceedings against legal entities and peasant farms were registered in Tatarstan. They turned out to be less than in January-June 2022, by 6,5%.

Despite the decrease in the number of corporate bankruptcies, Tatarstan turned out to be one of the leaders in the first half of the year. The republic still did not get into the top 3, but rose from 7th place in the first quarter to 4th place. Moscow became the leader in reducing the number of bankruptcies of legal entities and farms by 37,6% — 685 reports on the opening of bankruptcy proceedings. It is followed by Moscow Oblast (-50%, up to 218) and St. Petersburg (-52,4%), follows from the data of Fedresurs.

A reduction in the number of corporate bankruptcies in the first quarter of 2023 was recorded in most regions of Russia. At the same time, experts forecast their growth in the future, although the “long-lasting effect of the moratorium in the form of the preserved business of a number of companies” will remain.

“The growth in the number of observations and intentions of creditors indicates that in the future we can expect an increase in the number of bankruptcies to about 600-800 per month," said the head of Fedresurs, Alexey Yukhnin, specifying that a return to the figures of previous years, about 1000-1100 bankruptcies per month, is hardly possible.

The increase in the number of corporate bankruptcies in January — June 2023 was registered in Tyva and Chechnya — twofold, to 4 and 2, respectively, as well as in Pskov Oblast (+57,1%, to 11). An increase in their number occurred in the regions of the Volga Federal District, including neighbouring Tatarstan: in Kirov Oblast (+29,4%, up to 22), in Ulyanovsk Oblast (+19,4%, up to 37), in Chuvashia (+12,5%, up to 18).
