Belgium PM De Wever Prepares Contingency Budget Measures Amid Fiscal Deterioration

Belgian PM Bart De Wever has proposed a 'safety net' of measures to Deputy PMs, enabling government intervention as early as next year if the financial situation worsens. The government also agreed to find an additional €10 billion by 2029 to address public finance deterioration, while avoiding provisional twelfths in 2027. This signals proactive fiscal tightening amid rising deficit concerns.
