France Business Failures by Sector & Region (INSEE / Banque de France)

What it does

Returns one row per area × sector series: latest period and value, latest 12-month total, same figure one year earlier, % change, and the full time series. Monthly series are rolling 12-month totals by date of judgement (as published by INSEE).

Who it's for: Credit insurers, B2B risk and debt-collection firms, accountants, economic journalists, sector analysts.

All numbers come straight from the official source at run time. Nothing is estimated or modelled; field names are neutral and every item carries source and source_url.

Input

Defaults work out of the box. Example:

{"areas": ["FE", "R11"], "sectors": ["ENS", "FZ", "I"], "frequency": "M", "periods": 24}
