Belgium is a highly developed, trade-driven economy at the crossroads of Western Europe. With few natural resources, it thrives on a strategic location, dense transport links, and the world-class port of Antwerp.

As host to the EU and NATO headquarters, Brussels anchors a large international services sector. Belgium's modern economy depends heavily on processing imported raw materials for re-export.

Key Sectors

Key activities include chemicals and pharmaceuticals, machinery and vehicle assembly, diamonds and metals processing, food and beverages, and a substantial logistics and financial-services sector.
