Does anyone know why Chapter 11 would increase so much more than other bankruptcy filings?
From what I understand (in my limited knowledge), Chapter 11 is the “milder” one, compared to Chapter 7, but I have no idea what that actually means for businesses in terms of the economy. Is it a good thing that there are relatively more “mild” bankruptcies? Or does this increase even says anything about the economy at all? ~2500 filings seems pretty low regardless. I feel like there is some context missing, as the article is pretty vague overall.
