"Corona Bankruptcy" 200 Japanese companies, Accelerating pace of increase

In Japan, 200 companies have gone bankrupt due to the new coronavirus infection.

According to Teikoku Databank, the business situation worsened due to the decrease in sales due to the impact of the new Corona on the afternoon of the day, and it is understood that there are 200 companies that are proceeding or preparing for legal procedures such as bankruptcy. Two months after the first case of bankruptcy occurred on February 26, the number of companies exceeded 100 on April 27, and 100 more in the next month. The rate of increase is accelerating.

By industry, 39 companies had the most lodging industries, such as hotels and inns. This is because the number of tourists has suddenly dropped. Next were restaurants (24 companies), clothing/general goods/shoes (16 companies), and so on.

By region, Tokyo has the highest number of 41 companies out of 47 prefectures nationwide. Hokkaido and Osaka are the second largest with 17 companies each, with 13 companies in Hyogo prefecture.

Teikoku Databank said, "The emergency situation was lifted all over Japan last month, but there is concern about the spread of the second wave of infection, and the outlook for the economic recovery is uncertain. It's not that strange".
