Belgian wealth inequality rises: top 10% hold over half of net wealth

The National Bank of Belgium reports that the wealthiest 10% of households own more than half of net wealth, with the Gini coefficient rising to 68.8% from 68.5%. The threshold for the top 10% is €1.16 million, while average net worth is €610,000. This indicates a slight but notable increase in wealth inequality, though Belgium remains less unequal than the euro area average per ECB data.
