More than 10,000 bankruptcies in 2011 (Information Update), European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions:http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/eiro/2012/01/articles/be1201011i.htm
A record number of bankruptcies were registered in Belgium in 2011 and more than 10,000 businesses closed down. Almost twice as many businesses went bankrupt in the Flemish-speaking region of Flanders than in the French-speaking Wallonia region, and the commerce and services sector was the hardest hit. There was a growing tendency in the business community to delay payments to other businesses as long as possible, pushing traders operating on low profit margins into insolvency
