Hi Alex,

More companies go bust

Over 250 companies are going bust each week in
England and Wales according to official government
figures.

The Department of Trade and Industry said that 3,346
companies became insolvent in the UK in the second
quarter of 1998.

The rate of growth in the number of insolvencies is rising
sharply as the UK economy slows down.

The number of companies going bust rose 4.7% from the
first quarter of the year, and was up 6.4% from the same
period last year.

The increase will be regarded as another indicator of the
growing recession that is hitting the UK manufacturing
sector.

The government has estimated that around 1.2% of
actively trading companies became insolvent in the 12
months to July 1998.

Individual insolvencies also rose to 6,214, an increase of
2.2% from the previous quarter.
