Bisnode: Váhostav posed risk already 3 years ago

Up to 70 percent of companies in Slovakia are exposed to financial problems that may lead to bankruptcy. There are about 20 percent of risky companies at present which are actually heading towards bankruptcy, reads a survey by the consulting company Bisnode published in the Hospodárske Noviny daily. The company singled out mining, electricity production, education and hospitality as being among the sectors posing the greatest deal of risk. Meanwhile, companies doing business in health and social care, real estate and culture are deemed to be the safest and soundest. A scoring model that weighs a number of indicators to assess the possibility of bankruptcy of any given company showed that the construction giant Váhostav posed risk as early as three years ago - stated the consulting company Bisnode on Wednesday.
