In Ukraine, the registration of debtors was completed with 300 thousand Ukrainians in one year.

In Ukraine, in 2020, the registration of Ukrainian debtors has become heavier by 300 thousand. According to the latest data, this list includes the names of more than 2.3 million of our compatriots. This was reported by “Opendatabot”.

In 2020, the largest number of debtors appeared in the following categories: debt collection for utility bills: the number of such debtors increased by 36% during the year (this is +57 thousand people); fundraising (for example, loans) – by 24% per year (+150 thousand people); collection of fines in cases of administrative offenses in the field of road safety – by 22% per year (+96 thousand); collection of fines in cases of administrative offenses – by 21% per year (+70 thousand).

The reasons for the growth of the number of debtors in Ukraine are associated with various reasons. Among them are the debts of Ukrainians that arose during the quarantine and an increase in the percentage of debts sold by utilities and banks to professional collection companies. The introduction of video recording of traffic violations and the emergence of a parking inspection had a significant impact.
