Russian corporate bankruptcies rise 13.3% in 9M 2026, still below historical average

Russian courts declared 5,364 corporate bankruptcies in the first nine months of 2026, a 13.3% year-on-year increase, though the pace remains 31.7% below the historical average. The rise suggests mounting financial stress in the Russian corporate sector, likely tied to sanctions and high interest rates, but the below-average level indicates the economy is not in a systemic crisis. The trend matters as a gauge of Russia's economic resilience under ongoing external pressure.
