Market Outlook

In November, consumer confidence improved slightly but remained historically low as households continue to be careful with spending. The Belgian economy will likely decelerate compared to last year and, according to a recent report by the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium, the terrorist attacks have played a significant role in hampering growth in several key sectors.

As reported by the FEBIAC  (Federation Belgie de L’automobile et du cycle) the total new cars passengers sold in December had been 33.523, up 2.4%.

The domestic cars industry kept a moderate growing speed, hitting the third best sales level ever, just 32.700 units far from the previous record established in the 2011. The full year sales volume was up 7.7% at 539.520 units, the best out of the last five years.
