Corona situation report: Number of business restructuring proceedings unchanged in January to September, number of restructurings of private debts grew

We collect the latest and future statistical data describing the corona situation into this corona situation report. In exceptional circumstances, Statistics Finland has published weekly statistics on the number of bankruptcies and deaths, and instant preliminary statistics on rented cottages and the experimental early estimate of seasonally adjusted output of the national economy based on initial data on turnover.  

The weekly publication of statistics on bankruptcies will return to the normal monthly publication schedule, because the need for weekly data has been low. The weekly publishing will be introduced whenever necessary.
