Coronavirus (COVID-19) impact on the Belgian economy - statistics & facts
With social restrictions, lowered supplies, and diminished demand, Belgium’s economy has been directly impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For instance, the revenue loss in the tourism industry in Flanders and the Brussels-Capital Region was estimated at 1.7 billion euros in 2020. During that year, the Belgium government balance as a share of GDP decreased by 11 percent, while the GDP per capita went down by 0.4 percent.
