Maramureș County recorded 123 insolvencies in the first seven months of 2026, a 36.67% increase (+33 companies) compared to the same period last year. The county ranks 13th nationally, down 5 positions from June 2026, according to official data.
📉 Monthly breakdown and trends
The highest number of insolvencies was recorded in March (25 cases), followed by February (23) and May (21). In July alone, 9 new insolvencies were registered, 25% fewer than the previous month. The total of 123 cases places Maramureș outside the national Top 10 for the first time in seven months.
Beyond insolvencies, 2,438 companies from Maramureș have disappeared — either temporarily or permanently — from the county’s economy in the first 7 months of 2026. The net difference between newly registered entities and those removed is 896, meaning the local economy operates with fewer active companies than at the end of 2025.
🏢 Detailed company dynamics
Of the companies that disappeared: 425 suspended activity (+102 vs 2025, rank 7 nationally), 740 were dissolved (-60, rank 13), and 1,273 were struck off the registry (-60, rank 13).
As of May 31, 2026, Maramureș had 39,186 legally active professionals (25,599 companies and 13,587 individual entrepreneurs). However, only about 35% are economically active, and less than 80% of those operate profitably.
🔍 What’s next
With 123 insolvencies in 7 months and a downward trend compared to the previous month, the forecasts indicate a potentially higher annual total than 2025, when 156 companies entered insolvency. The evolution in the coming months will be crucial for Maramureș’s economic outlook.
