A real-time German corporate-insolvency index built from the official federal insolvency register — a leading recession and credit-distress indicator. Updated daily, broken out by region, sector and entity type, with multi-year history. Delivered as aggregated counts and rates — corporate entities only, no personal data.
Corporate insolvency is one of the cleanest leading reads on the credit cycle: filings turn up before defaults show in the data and before a downturn is confirmed. This is a macro / credit product — built for desks that trade the cycle and price default risk. It also reads specific supply chains: a rise in filings among a platform's merchant or vendor base (Delivery Hero-type networks) is an early tell on that ecosystem's health.
A daily, granular recession and credit-distress indicator for Europe's largest economy. Front-runs official quarterly insolvency statistics and reads the direction of the German — and by extension euro-area — credit cycle.
Sector- and region-level insolvency rates and velocity feed exposure models and portfolio monitoring. Spot deterioration in a segment weeks before it flows through to claims.
Match filings to firmographics to monitor vendor, supplier and merchant bases — including platform ecosystems like Delivery Hero-type supply chains — and get an early warning when a counterparty or a cluster starts failing.
A single real-time corporate-insolvency index, sourced from the official federal insolvency register and delivered along every dimension a credit desk needs — with company financials and firmographics available for matching.
Built from the official federal insolvency register — the authoritative public record of insolvency proceedings in Germany. We ingest new filings continuously and publish an index of corporate-insolvency activity, updated daily. It leads official quarterly insolvency statistics and, historically, turns ahead of the broader recession call — a genuine leading indicator of credit distress.
Every filing is classified so the index can be sliced by region (federal state / district), sector (industry), and entity type (GmbH, AG, UG, sole-trader company, etc.). Delivered as new-filing counts, year-over-year change, and an insolvency rate per active company — so you can isolate exactly where distress is concentrating.
Paired with German company financials and firmographics — legal entity, sector code, size band, region, published financial indicators — so filings can be matched to a counterparty list, a portfolio, or a supply-chain / vendor base. Enables named-exposure monitoring on top of the aggregate index, at the entity level, for corporate entities.
Full national coverage of the corporate segment of the federal register, refreshed every business day, with a deep point-in-time back-history for calibration and backtesting.
Proprietary, continuously-collected, point-in-time data sourced from the official federal insolvency register. Aggregated to counts and rates, delivered daily — with a hard line drawn around personal data.
Each day's index reflects exactly the filings on record as of that date. The back-history is point-in-time, so backtests never see filings before they were public.
The index product is delivered as aggregated new-filing counts, year-over-year change, insolvency rates and an index level per region / sector / entity-type cell.
Corporate entities only. Consumer / personal insolvency filings are excluded entirely — no individuals, no household filings. The aggregate carries no personal data.
Company financials and firmographics are provided for corporate entities so filings can be matched to portfolios and supply chains — at the company, never the person, level.
