This study covered time series annual data from 2000 to 2019. ARDL and Variance decompositions were used to test the model. The findings for Malaysia show that CPI and IR are negatively and significantly related to personal bankruptcy in the long run, while HD has a positive relationship. In contrast, CPI shows a positive impact while IR negatively impacts personal bankruptcy in the short run. However, for Singapore, CPI and HD have a negative and positive significant impact on personal bankruptcy, respectively, in the long run. On the other hand, CPI shows a positive and significant relationship with personal bankruptcy in the short run. HD has a positive and significant impact on bankruptcy for both countries. On the other hand, CPI and IR show different impacts on personal bankruptcy in Malaysia and Singapore.
