insolvencies
Inability to pay
Insolvencies is the plural of insolvency, the state of being unable to pay one's debts.
A business or individual facing insolvency cannot meet financial obligations as they come due: The economic downturn led to a wave of corporate insolvencies.
Insolvency may lead to bankruptcy proceedings, though the terms aren't synonymous—insolvency is the financial condition, bankruptcy is the legal process.
