    UK Sector Snapshot – Transport

    Coface has upgraded our risk assessment for the UK transport sector but it remains high risk as many companies are carrying a heavy load of corporate debt. Our growing appetite for overseas holidays this Summer has helped the airline industry recover after the sharp decline in the pandemic years. However, other areas of the transport sector are experiencing turbulence caused by rising costs, lower demand and corporate debt.

    Increased payment delays for French businesses, amid growing social and political risks

    Coface survey on payment behavior shows a lengthening of the average payment period, while 85% of companies have also experienced payment delays, with the majority indicating that they are longer and more numerous than in 2023. This deterioration in payment behavior is reflected in a further rise in insolvencies, which have now stabilised at much higher levels than in 2019 and 2023.
