Belgium’s economy grew by 1% in 2025, slightly below the 1.1% expansion recorded in 2024. Growth was uneven across sectors, with value added rising by 0.2% in industry, 3.7% in construction and 0.9% in services. Household consumption increased by 1.7%, supporting overall activity, while business investment climbed 2.8%, pointing to solid corporate spending. In contrast, housing investment dropped sharply by 8.7%, reflecting weakness in the property market. Government consumption rose 1.5%, but public investment declined by 2.5%. External trade weighed on growth, as exports fell by 0.6% compared with a smaller 0.2% decline in imports. As a result, net exports made a negative contribution of 0.3 percentage points to GDP growth for the year.
