Coface, a global leader in credit insurance and risk management, announces the start of LATAM 2025 Survey on Payments and Inadmpliances, which will gather perceptions of companies of different sizes and sectors on average receipt deadlines, delays and use of financial protection tools.

The survey is a comprehensive study that will analyze financial practices of companies throughout Latin America, especially Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru.The survey portrays how companies structure their credit policies, conduct payment deadlines, face defaults and adopt financial solutions to protect their results and sustain growth. 

In addition, the study identifies similarities and differences between countries and sectors, offering valuable comparative insight for executives making strategic decisions.

By participating, companies will have priority access to an exclusive report, with regional benchmarks and in-depth insights into trends that directly impact cash flow, financial health and organizational resilience. 

Conducted annually, the study is one of the main references to monitor the evolution of credit habits in the region, offering a broad view of the factors that influence cash flow and the financial health of companies.In the last edition, the survey gathered hundreds of responses from companies in several countries, revealing default trends and the growing interest in solutions such as credit insurance.

With this initiative, Coface reinforces its role as a strategic partner in building the future of companies focusing on their financial sustainability and growth.

The survey will be open during the months of september and october, and the consolidated results will be presented in november, in an exclusive event for journalists and companies. 

“Our goal is to capture the signs of change in the payment behavior of Latin American companies and offer inputs that help managers to anticipate risks.In a scenario of uncertainty, quality information becomes even more essential”, says Isabelle Heude, Commercial and Operations Director.

Coface reinforces that the participation of companies is fundamental to enrich the analysis. The questionnaire can be accessed at the following link: Latam 2025 Payment Survey | Coface.
