More than one in three outstanding accounts in Europe are overdue / Risk of defaults on payments / Payment behaviour differs greatly among individual countries / Atradius payment barometer study

摘要

Germans, Belgians and Swiss tend to avoid doing business on credit. Danes and Swedes have the best payment behaviour, while Greeks, Italians, Slovaks, Hungarians and Turks are the most likely to have financing difficulties and Brits are most likely to complain about the quality of the goods or the method of billing. These are the main findings from two studies compiled by Atradius (Amsterdam / The Netherlands; www. atradius.com), in which the credit insurer examined B2B payment practices in 18 European countries in 2014.
