Bucharest recorded 8,639 insolvency cases between August 2024 and July 2025, which is a 32% increase compared to the previous 12-month period, according to financial analysis platform RisCo.ro.
In July 2025 alone, 969 insolvencies were recorded. The construction sector has been particularly hard hit, with 775 cases registered for residential and non-residential building works. This marks an increase of over 70% compared to the previous period.
The transport sector has also experienced a sharp rise in insolvencies, with 381 cases opened for road freight transport and moving services in the last 12 months. This represents an approximate 131% increase and suggests a heightened risk of non-payment and potential liquidity issues.
In addition, retail, restaurants, non-permanent crop cultivation, and electrical and sanitary installation work are showing high exposure to economic risks and a low capacity to adapt to market conditions.
This highlights a growing vulnerability in financial resource management. The platform recommends that businesses adopt prudent strategies, carefully evaluating risks and commercial partners.
