More than 561,000 Swiss are unable to pay their debts. Switzerland has around 561,000 over-indebtedness, or 6.5% of the population, according to a study by the CRIF institute. French-speaking Switzerland is particularly affected by this phenomenon, which can have serious consequences.
Since 2016, the number of people in over-indebtedness has increased by 22%. The reason ? Simple: Many adults would rather have everything now than worry about what will happen tomorrow or the day after.
Western Switzerland most affected
The situation is “particularly alarming” in French-speaking Switzerland. The canton of Neuchâtel has the highest rate of debtors, with 10.9%, followed by Geneva, with 10.4%. The rate of debtors was determined by the number of people who are the subject of proceedings (debt collection, bankruptcy, act of default of property) as of July 31, 2019.
Few people go into debt, but the problem always starts with expenses for which you don't have the money. It may be for frivolous reasons, or you may have had a horrible change in circumstances, such as a dying partner, divorce, health issues, or losing your job. Whatever the good or the bad reason, from now on, it doesn't matter anymore. The most important thing you can do is get a tight grip on your spending and your budget. Debts in Switzerland are a symptom, not the problem. Before you tackle it, you need to reduce your expenses, not only to prevent you from borrowing more, but to maximize repayments.
The main objective is therefore to reduce the cost of your debts in Switzerland, but if you do this without examining the table in all of your expenses there is little chance of success.
