Business creations rose by 16% y/y as of Q3 2026. This increase was driven by sectors associated with new information and communication technologies, where the trend is gaining momentum. Meanwhile, business bankruptcies rose by 1.7% y/y as of Q3 2026, according to the data from the Banque de France. After a more pronounced rise in the first quarter (8% y/y), this increase has since slowed. The rise in business bankruptcies is most pronounced in the services sector, which has simultaneously seen an increase in business creations.
