The worldwide economic downturn has had a huge effect on the Dutch economy. Many companies in the Netherlands face the risk of bankruptcy. In 2009 almost 11,000 enterprises were declared bankrupt, an increase of more than 51 percent compared with 2008. A similar number of companies are expected to enter bankruptcy in 2010. An even greater number of companies will be affected as they become entwined with the insolvencies of their contractual counterparties.
