An analysis by global professional services firm Alvarez & Marsal (A&M) found that many bankruptcies and insolvencies in Switzerland did not occur in 2020 and 2021 due to financial state aid measures of a total value of CHF 42 billion and other supporting measures granted since the beginning of the pandemic. Although 2020 was a year of economic contraction, the number of bankruptcies and insolvencies in Switzerland (as in many other countries) declined by almost 20% compared to 2019.
