Main messages

Companies

Total company insolvencies in England and Wales decreased and were at the lowest level since Q4 2007.
This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in compulsory liquidations, which fell to the lowest level since Q4 2013

People

The total number of people who became insolvent in England and Wales decreased for the fourth successive quarter, to the lowest level since Q3 2005.
The number of bankruptcies, debt relief orders and individual voluntary arrangements all decreased for the fourth consecutive quarter.

Prior notice of change to statistical methods
