West Midlands Payment Performance: Marginal Improvement in 2024 (63.3/100 vs 62.8/100)

The Comparison

• 2023: Data encompassed 395 companies across the West Midlands, yielding an average payment performance score of 62.8 out of 100.
• 2024: The analysis included 363 companies, showing a slightly improved average payment score of 63.3 out of 100.

What This Means

While the average payment performance score increased slightly, the difference of 0.6 points is arguably insignificant and may not indicate a fundamental shift in payment culture within the West Midlands. The decrease in the number of companies included in the 2024 data set could potentially skew the results, highlighting the need for continued monitoring to determine if a genuine trend is emerging.
