"The number of company insolvencies in Germany continued to rise in November. The Federal Statistical Office said on Friday that filings were up 5.7% from a year earlier, based on preliminary data. Around 18,000 companies filed for insolvency in the first nine months of the year, the highest level since 2014. The German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) said the causes were high costs, weak demand and widespread uncertainty. It added that there was little sign of relief in the short term and warned insolvency figures were likely to remain high into early 2026."
