Bankruptcies in Poland up by 15%

Remember hearing that Poland's economy is now at its strongest ever as a result of the 'good' changes introduced by the 18% regime? It turns out that that was not entirely true:

With the clear message currently being sent to investors that the rule of law in Poland is now over and has been replaced by the rule of the Party under which any judge who gives a decision which is unfavourable to the Party can be fired and the case heard again before a judge handpicked by the Party, it's hard to see how the economic situation here will get better any time before the rule of law is re-established here.

the comparable figures for Germany and Austria are 10,300 and 2,574

418 in Poland for half a year? With 1/2 and 5 times the size of Germany and Austria, a number around 5,000ish would be plausible. 418 is not possible, there is something wrong with that number.

Could it be that they are not counting the rejected petitions for grounds that the debtor's assets were insufficient for the payment of the expenses of liquidation? These are usually the bulk of petitions but not counting them (although no formal declaration of insolvency is issued) makes the number useless because a rise in this number could actually indicate an improving situation.

And again the idiot got obliterated in his own thread lololo

What's the total number of companies in Poland and in Germany? Compare those two and then see if the number of insolvencies make sense.
