Bankruptcy applications in Kenya have dropped to a five-year low, indicating the reduced reliance on the process as a debt resolution mechanism.

Data from the Office of the Official Receiver, a department of the Business Registration Services, shows that 16 bankruptcy applications were filed during the fiscal year ended June 2022, down from 21 in the previous period, as the country pulled through the Covid-19 economic meltdown.
