The budget situation in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation (FWB) is reportedly dire, with a deficit of €350 million euros identified by government services, according to La Libre Belgique.
The French-speaking government is preparing to negotiate its budget adjustment in a conclave.
The current policies in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation are at risk, and even more concerning, future policies outlined in the government declaration may also be affected.
The main issue with the FWB’s finances stems from its lack of fiscal levers to generate additional revenue.
The measures decided at the budgetary conclave are now awaited, and it seems clear that the budget for 2026 may be even more challenging to balance, La Libre Belgique anticipates.
