Abstract

The phenomenon of covertly over-indebted companies – also known colloquially as zombie companies – is not new. They occur more frequently in times of crisis, including during the current Corona pandemic. In addition to covertly over-indebtedness, there is now the added factor of latent insolvency. This article will take a closer look at the emergence of zombie companies in Germany during the Corona pandemic.
