Northern Ireland Payment Trends: 2024 vs 2025
Northern Ireland Payment Practices Show Minimal Decline: 2024 Score of 67.2 Falls to 67.1 in 2025
The Comparison

- 2025: The survey comprised 59 companies, with an average payment score of 67.1 out of 100.
What This Means
The year-on-year decline of 0.1 points, while statistically insignificant, suggests a stagnation in payment performance among Northern Irish businesses. A reduction in the sample size between 2024 and 2025 might make direct comparisons less representative of the broader business community.
