<abstract displayLabel="Summary">It is clear from our survey that companies across Western Europe are operating in an unpredictable customer payment risk landscape. While 46% of companies tell us payment behaviour of business-to-business (B2B) customers has remained consistent in recent months, 47% of B2B invoices now being overdue, with payment delays largely driven by financial stress across the economy. On average, bad debts affect 6% of B2B invoices, representing a significant hit to revenue and a growing concern.</abstract>
