In 2025, the failures should grow by 7% in 2026 and remain strong in the period 2025-2026, while the investments will continue to be stimulated by the government and the private sector. However, there are risks, mainly in connection with climatic stress, which already reduces agricultural production and social pressure, while unemployment of young people is still high. “underlines Lluis Dalmau, economist for Africa and the Middle East near Allianz Trade.

Local companies will probably deal with persistent challenges, including problems with payment delay, and prevent a downward trend when failing before 2026.”Dalmau continues.
