OTTAWA — Business insolvencies surged 87.2 per cent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024, while consumer insolvencies rose 14 per cent.

Data from the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy released Friday shows business insolvencies totalled 2,003, with 1,599 of those being bankruptcies.

"A perfect storm of economic challenges is brewing, with high mortgage renewal rates, soaring rental prices, and elevated costs of everyday necessities," he added.
