The Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy released its latest Quarterly Report today and, unfortunately, the numbers are not good for Newfoundland and Labrador.
For the 12 month period to June 30th 2016 vs to June 30th 2015 there was a 31.4% increase.
When comparing Q2 2015 to Q2 2016 there was a 36.9% increase.
These are significant increases and are a continued reflection of the downturn in the economy as a result of the impact of the drop in oil prices.
I don’t believe that this is reflective of any impact the April provincial budget will have. The April budget didn’t come into full effect until July so it is unlikely that we are seeing many insolvencies up to June 30th as a direct result of the budget.
