Uncollectable accounts
An average of 1.2% of the B2B receivables of respondents in
Western Europe was reported as uncollectable. In Greece the proportion
of uncollectable receivables is nearly three times higher
(3.3%) than the survey average, and in Italy it is more than double
(2.5%). The figure for Ireland (1.7%) is also above the survey
average. Uncollectable domestic receivables, in Western Europe,
come mostly from the construction, consumer durables, services
and business services sectors.
