Intrum’s annual European Payment Report (EPR)*, a survey of 11,000 companies across 29 European countries, shows that businesses are expecting late payments to grow significantly in the coming months, following the rising inflation and interest rates. UK businesses are even less likely than their European peers to make growth a priority.
Businesses are paying their suppliers even later, despite admitting that they have a responsibility to smaller firms, according to early findings from the 2022 European Payment Report. The annual report by credit management services company Intrum surveyed more than 11,000 businesses in 29 countries. It found the business landscape under pressure from new uncertainty, while struggling to recover from the impact of the Covid years.

As we move into 2022, there are more questions than answers when it comes to Covid and the impact it will have on the economy, our businesses and the work we do with consumers in debt. Uncertainty is becoming the status quo.
“Bringing family together and meeting expectations”. These are the reasons why one in four Brits take on additional debt at Christmas, according to Intrum’s annual consumer report conducted in 24 European countries. Although households with families are more likely to take on debt to pay for food and presents than the average consumer, the age group being most likely to do so is Generation Z (age 18-21).
