Apparently, the Covid19 diffusion in the country started later compared with South Europe and the Government has not taken any concrete action to avoid the diffusion until mid-March. Then, following the decision taken by all the rest of the surrounding countries, it was decided to shut down all the activities, including automotive manufacturers and dealerships.

In the following months the market recovered quickly thanks to EU incentives, but nevertheless experienced a negative trend for the rest of the year, with double-digit drops reported in August (-24.1%), November (-15.8%), and December (-10.1%).

Economic Environment

In recent years the Belgium car passenger market was moderately positive, with sales grew up form 541k in the 2012 to 628k in 2018, sustained by the positive economic momentum and by the incentives to renovate the car park with green vehicles.

Economic Environment

Belgium weak economic activity grown in the third quarter, roughly in line with analysts’ expectations and matching the second quarter’s outturn. The external sector was lifted by sales and purchases of ships abroad. Meanwhile, domestic demand was flat.

Household spending contracted amid higher inflation and rising unemployment, while fixed-capital spending was stable from a quarter earlier on a fall in business investment and deteriorating industrial metrics through the quarter. Moreover, available fourth-quarter data hints at similarly unremarkable growth through the remainder of the year.

Solid economic fundamentals should support modest growth year, to be led by firmer domestic demand. A tightening labor market and healthy wage growth are expected to underpin a pick-up in household spending, while cheap financing and tighter industrial capacity are likely to sustain fixed investment. Downside risks hinge on the highly-open nature of the economy; a slowdown across the Eurozone and any escalation of trade conflicts could bruise exports.

Belgium economy grew at a slower clip in the second quarter, the third-quarter outlook is brighter. Investment spending has picked up, spurred by low-interest rates and growing domestic demand, and should continue to gather momentum in the second half of the year as reforms passed in July begin to take effect. Survey-based data is also encouraging: Consumer confidence soared in September to its highest level since 2001, bolstered by higher wages and a tightening labor market. Higher wages should translate into stronger consumer spending in H2 as disposable income goes up.

Market Outlook
