Did you know that if you add Subchapter V filings back into Chapter 11 rebuilding the data the way it looked before 2020 the current bankruptcy picture today lands almost exactly in Great Financial Crisis territory?
Look at the comparison…
Great Financial Crisis totals
• 2008: 10,000–11,000
• 2009: 14,000–16,000 (the peak)
• 2010: 12,000–13,000
Reconstructed 2023–2025 totals (Chapter 11 + Subchapter V)
• 2023: 9,441
• 2024: 11,531
• 2025: 11,300–11,500
Once you restore Subchapter V to where it used to sit, the current cycle stops looking normal and starts looking a whole lot like the late 2000s.

The LEI And CEI Ratio Just Sent Its Loudest Warning Since 2008
This chart is basically a window into how the future of the economy is lining up against the present. The leading index tracks the things that tend to move first like new orders, credit availability, hiring momentum, lending standards, financial conditions. The coincident index reflects what’s happening right now with jobs, incomes, production, and consumer spending.
When the ratio starts dropping slowly, it means the outlook is cooling.
When it falls as sharply as it has here, it means the forward looking part of the economy is breaking away from the current conditions story in real time.
And the fact that it’s down near 0.85 the lowest level since 2008 doesn’t sit in isolation anymore. We now have a matching pattern across the fundamentals with rising consumer delinquencies, record student loan stress, auto loan defaults hitting levels we haven’t seen since before the pandemic, credit card delinquencies past 12%, and commercial real estate near 10% delinquency. Add to that the surge in corporate bankruptcies in 2025 now on track for a 15 year high and you suddenly see this chart less as a theoretical signal and more as a reflection of what’s already gathering under the surface.
The ratio is simply translating what the rest of the data is whispering that the future is deteriorating faster than the present acknowledges.
How Reliable Has This Been Historically?
This measure has always been used as a directional indicator, not a stopwatch. It won’t tell you the exact moment a recession starts, but it has a long track record of flagging when the underlying trajectory has turned. Before every major downturn including the 2007–09 financial crisis this ratio broke first, sometimes a year or more before the coincident data caught up.
It’s not flawless. You can get false positives in weird environments where policy props things up or where one sector takes a hit without dragging down the whole system. But the reliability comes from the persistence and the depth of the decline. Historically, once this ratio falls below certain levels and stays there like the 0.85 range we’re in now the economy has never avoided a meaningful slowdown.
And when you pair that with what we know today with student loan delinquencies hitting all time highs, auto loans and credit cards showing pre recession patterns, office real estate cracking, and nearly 800 corporate bankruptcies projected for the year you no longer have a standalone model. You have convergence.
What It Means Right Now
The chart is essentially confirming what the underlying stress data is already saying, the forward slice of the economy has turned, even if the coincident numbers still look serviceable.
The question now isn’t whether the warning is real, it’s whether the coincident side can hold up long enough for the leading indicators to recover. Historically, that’s not how it plays out. When household delinquencies rise across every major loan category, when recent grads are entering the workforce with higher debt and weaker credit, when corporate bankruptcies climb to their highest level since 2010… the coincident index rarely stays immune for long.
The ratio is simply telling us, with the same rhythm it always has, that the next phase of the economy is already taking shape and the rest of the data is starting to agree.

⁉️ Has the US economy fallen into A RECESSION?
US Leading Economic Index (LEI) to Coincident Economic Index (CEI) ratio fell to the lowest since the FINANCIAL CRISIS low.
The LEI/CEI ratio has fallen for 4 years now.
This has been a leading indicator for US recessions. https://t.co/lyRpct7LQc tweet
