Belgian state proceeds with opaque Belfius privatization; final bids due
Le SoirLO·BE·1 day ago
Belgium's restricted council of ministers formalized the next stage of Belfius's partial privatization, with 20% of the bank to be sold. The candidate list remains undisclosed, and the file's progress is confirmed by Finance Minister Jan Jambon's office. This marks a concrete step in a long-planned divestment, with implications for Belgian state finances and the banking sector.
