Description

We forecast the Belgian economy will expand by 1.3% in 2026, after growing by 1.0% in 2025. Trade policy uncertainty will discourage businesses from investing. Tariffs will lower Belgium's direct exports to the US by making them more expensive and hit demand for Belgian-produced inputs into other countries' US-bound exports. We expect inflation to average 1.6% in 2026, after 2.5% in 2025, with a stubborn services component pushing up the headline figure.
