The National Bank of Belgium released a podcast episode that takes listeners behind the scenes of how the Bank produces its economic projections for Belgium for 2025–2028, including why the projections matter and how they have been affected by the recent federal budget agreement. The episode features Léa Druck from the Bank’s Communications team interviewing Cédric Duprez, head of the Short-term Statistics, Prices and Costs group in the Economics and Research Department. The Bank noted that the episode was recorded on 10 December and that figures and information discussed were current at the time of recording but may have changed since then; a transcript and access via major podcast platforms were also provided.
