Atradius’ article by ANZ Managing Director published online in ‘Smart Company’, ‘SMEs should heed the warnings of rising insolvencies’.

“The Australian economy is facing headwinds for the remainder of 2016 and into 2017 following the decline in commodity prices. Local bankruptcies are expected to rise by 8%, according to Atradius forecasting, so it makes good business sense to look for ways to reduce risk exposure to let the company trade confidently. Australian businesses must start implementing strategies to avoid being another bankruptcy statistic.”
