Cette publication trimestrielle en langue anglaise est le fruit d'une collaboration entre la Banque nationale, le Service Public Fédéral Finances (SPF Finances) et plusieurs Primary Dealers.

Chaque numéro comporte un "Consensus forecast" sur l'évolution attendue des principales données macroéconomiques pour la Belgique ainsi qu'une description des développements économiques récents les plus notables.

Un aperçu de la situation sur le marché des effets publics est en outre chaque fois présenté. La rubrique "Treasury highlights" fournit des informations sur les décisions du Trésor en rapport avec la gestion de la dette publique.
