Statistical publications
The National Bank of Belgium issues statistical publications and press releases on a regular basis. All publications and press releases are available at least in Dutch and French. You may consult them online and download them (in PDF format) free of charge via this website. These publications are normally distributed at 11 a.m. with the exception of the press release on the business confidence indicator and the economic indicators, which are scheduled to be distributed at 3 p.m.
General Statistics
The Statistical bulletin, with a mine of financial and economic information, is published on a quarterly basis. Statistics produced by the National Bank more frequently than every three months are compiled into a monthly update. The National Bank also allows you to have free access to a wider offer and longer series than in the Statistical Bulletin via “NBB.Stat” on its website.
At the end of each week, the National Bank releases an updated collection (the most recent past estimates and the latest available forecasts for the future) of the main Belgian economic and financial variables (gross domestic product and economic activity, prices, employment, public finance, foreign trade, interest rates and exchange rates).
