Economic Fairness - Insolvencies
Insolvencies are a relatively rare phenomenon. There were fewer than 9,700 adults in London either being declared bankrupt or having a debt relief order or individual voluntary arrangement put in place in 2023.

As 2023/24 is the first year where estimates based on the updated measure are available, estimates based on three-year average...
