According to Milo Bogaerts, head of Allianz Trade in Germany, industries such as transportation and logistics, construction, hospitality, and automotive and mechanical engineering are particularly affected. The company expects an 8% increase in insolvencies for this year, following a 6.7% rise in the first half of the year, and predicts a 5% decline to 24,600 cases in 2028.",
