Here's a snapshot comparing payment performance in Wales across the two years, based on available data:
While the average payment score has increased, indicating marginally improved payment practices, the reduction in sample size (from 90 to 71 companies) could skew the results, making it difficult to definitively claim widespread improvement across the entire Welsh business sector. The score increase of 3.2 points, although positive, is relatively small and needs to be considered with the context of almost 20% fewer companies being included in the 2025 study.

In summary, Welsh payment practices saw a slight improvement, with average scores rising from 66.1 in 2024 to 69.3 in 2025, though this is based on a reduced sample size.
