Summary

The virus outbreak, coupled with the lockdown measures imposed by the government, severely weakened the Belgian economy in 2020. The publisher estimates that the Belgian construction industry contracted by 5.8% in 2020. According to the National Bank of Belgium (NBB), the country’s construction industry contracted by 0.2% year-on-year (YoY) in Q3 2020 and 5.9% in the first nine months of the year. However, the construction industry is expected to recover in 2021 as the government has removed major lockdown restrictions across the country, with the economic outlook expected to improve in 2021. The publisher expects Belgium’s construction industry to grow by 4.9% in 2021.

Construction activities in the country were disrupted as construction companies closed sites in response to the pandemic. In May 2020, the Flemish ministry of Mobility and Public Works announced plans to invest EUR2.2 billion (US$2.5 billion) in 924 minor and major projects. The government expects these projects to help boost the road and hydraulic engineering sector, thereby contributing to the overall economy and construction industry. The publisher expects industry output to register an average annual growth rate of 2.4% over the remaining part of the forecast period.
