Report Highlights

Belgium has a total affluent population of 2.1 million individuals. However, due to a number of reasons, including poor GDP performance and a high allocation in low-yielding investment vehicles, the growth projection in the number of affluent individuals is bleak.

The total Belgian retail savings and investments market has shown no growth in the past six years and it only reached its previous 2006 peak value at the end of 2012. Looking forward, growth prospects for the total retail savings and investments market are expected to improve in line with the broader economic situation.

Belgian HNW individuals invest a negligible percentage of their total liquid assets offshore, due to a complex combination of historical, cultural, and legislative reasons and in line with many other European countries such as France, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
