Clone of SWISS DEBT RESTRUCTURING MORATORIUM SURVEY 2024
The A&M Swiss Debt Restructuring Moratorium Survey delivers unique statistics on debt restructuring moratoriums, drawing on data from official publications in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (SOGC) and direct surveys conducted with 110 competent Swiss bankruptcy courts.
The debt moratorium serves as a powerful legal mechanism for financially distressed companies to shield themselves from creditors, allowing them time to implement financial and operational restructuring measures. It helps safeguard businesses and jobs, providing a value-preserving alternative to bankruptcy liquidation. The benefits include protection against debt enforcement and legal actions, the ability to terminate ongoing obligations under specific conditions, exemption from creating a social plan, and the ability to execute disposal transactions without the risk of clawbacks.
Alvarez & Marsal's new Swiss Debt Restructuring Moratorium Survey reveals a 40% increase in the use of debt restructuring moratoriums in Switzerland during 2024, compared to 2023 – reaching the highest levels since the launch of the study five years ago.
The authors anticipate a further increase in the number of debt restructuring procedures in 2025, fueled by eroding consumer confidence, rising interest rates, ongoing global economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tensions.
