US companies defaulted on $53.8bn of corporate debt in the first six months of this year, according to Moody's Investors Service, the credit rating agency, causing misery for many but providing a record windfall for restructuring experts.

At this rate, outstanding defaulted US corporate debt is likely to end this year higher than last year's record $131.8bn. Bankruptcy experts predict defaults could continue to rise in 2002 and 2003.
