Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Belgium
The outlook has changed significantly for the worse, so we have revised our growth and inflation forecasts sharply. We now see Belgian GDP advancing 2.5% in 2022, 0.5pp down from a month ago, and 1.5% in 2023. As for inflation, we have raised our call for both 2022 and 2023 to 6.4% and 1.2% respectively (from 5.2% and 0.8%). The latest events clearly point to risks being tilted to the worse, hence further revisions are likely.
