The OSB received 12,536 filings in May, 1.1% more than last year but 1.5% lower than May 2024. This is a slight regression, but these levels were already elevated. Canada historically maintains low insolvency volumes, but 2026 saw the fourth-highest volume of filings in at least 39 years of data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consumer Insolvencies Climb, Remain At Staggering Levels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Canadian consumer insolvency filings for the month of May.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: OSB; Better Dwelling.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, consumer filings made up the lion\u2019s share with 12,131 filings in May, up 1.1% from last year. Considering these make up 97% of the total filings, a typical share, it\u2019s no surprise the consumer trend looks similar to the total. It also marks the fourth-most filings on record for May, though it\u2019s much closer to 2024\u2014just 0.5% lower. It\u2019s a problem that looks a little more concerning when contrasted with a population that\u2019s shrinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Canadian Business Insolvencies Rise, Silent Failures More Common\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Canadian business insolvency filings for the month of May.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: OSB; Better Dwelling.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business insolvencies are growing more aggressively with 405 filings in May, 3.6% higher than last year. This growth is 3x the total, and it\u2019s the second-highest May filing in over a decade. However, business filings look lower than historical volumes, especially around the elevated levels in the 90s and early 2000s.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That may seem like businesses aren\u2019t suffering from as much stress as consumers, but <a href=\"https:\/\/betterdwelling.com\/canadas-active-business-count-falls-to-a-28-month-low\/\">it stands in contrast with the business closure data that shows a rapidly shrinking landscape<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This implies more silent failures, where businesses wind down and liquidate assets without seeking formal debt relief. This serves as a good reminder that more insolvencies mean rising stress amongst borrowers, but fewer insolvencies just means fewer insolvencies\u2014not necessarily less stress.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>You Might Also Like<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian insolvency filings improved last year, but that progress is rolling back.
