Kaulkin Ginsberg Index

The Kaulkin Ginsberg Index (KGI) is a composite of seven macroeconomic factors that directly impact the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry. The Index provides an overview of the economic environment in which ARM companies do business without addressing the financial or operational results of companies in the industry.

ARM Economic Conditions Continue to Worsen

March 13 , 2008: ROCKVILLE, MD - The Kaulkin Ginsberg Index (KGI), the leading indicator of economic conditions affecting the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry, dropped another 5.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007 to 1253.5.  As the U.S. economy has slowed, the Index has dropped to its lowest point in two years.

“Economic conditions are making it more difficult to collect bad debt,” said Paul Legrady, a Director of Kaulkin Ginsberg Director.  “We should continue to see further decreases in the Index in the coming months.”
