The Course of the Bankruptcy Process of Polish Enterprises in the 21st Century

Summary/Abstract: The issue of bankruptcy of enterprises constitutes a particular area of interest for science and business practice due to the high economic and social costs associated with this phenomenon. The bankruptcies of enterprises are a permanent component of the economic system of any country with free market economy. They are very complex processes with economic, legal, psychological and social basis. They evoke effects that affect various components of the economic life. The article presents numerical data showing the scale and nature of business bankruptcies that are inextricably linked to the market economy and occur in all systems which follow the principles of the market economy. In the paper the authors analysed the phenomenon of bankruptcy of enterprises in Poland in the years 2000–2018 taking into account the applicable legal regulations that affected the types of bankruptcy proceedings in force and which since 2016 have resulted in both the reduction of bankruptcy proceedings (liquidation proceedings) due to the entry into force of the Restructuring Law, as well as the increase in the restructuring proceedings.
