The Collapse of Zombie Companies in 2026: Experts Predict Record Unemployment.

Expected Rise in Unemployment Due to Company Bankruptcies

It is expected that the closure of 'zombie' companies will lead to an increase in the unemployment rate in 2026, which could reach its highest level in 11 years.Experts from the Resolution Fund have warned that a 'triple whammy' of years of rising interest rates, energy prices, and minimum wage could lead to the closure of some low-productivity companies that have survived in difficult economic conditions.

“Firms that were on the brink may disappear, and this will inevitably have a negative impact on the labor market,” experts noted.

These factors are also expected to complicate the economic situation, leading to new challenges for businesses and jobs in the country.In light of these forecasts, special attention should be paid to measures that can support employment and stabilize the labor market. The rise in unemployment could have serious consequences for social and economic stability, making it important to consider these factors when planning economic strategies.
