比利时的商业信心指数从9月的-7.9下降到2025年10月的-9.1,下降了1.2点,低于市场共识的-7.8,自4月以来基本呈上升趋势。这一下降是由商业相关服务业的逆转推动的(-3.9对9月的0.1),对当前活动的乐观情绪被对未来商业和整体市场需求的预期减弱所抵消。制造业信心(-11.2 vs-10.4)在需求预测疲软的情况下小幅下降,尽管就业仍有望上升。由于订单减少,建筑业(-5.9对-5.8)也略有下降,但订单簿保持正常,预计需求将恢复。相比之下,对贸易部门的信心(-6.1对-7.2)连续第二个月有所改善,因为对订单和需求的更强劲预期超过了对就业更悲观的前景。
Belgium’s business confidence index fell 1.2 points to -9.1 in October 2025, down from -7.9 in September and below the market consensus of -7.8, after largely trending upwards since April. The decline was driven by a reversal in the business-related services sector (-3.9 vs 0.1 in September), where optimism about current activity was offset by weaker expectations for future business and overall market demand. Manufacturing (-11.2 vs -10.4) confidence edged down amid soft demand forecasts, though employment is still expected to rise. The building industry (-5.9 vs -5.8) also saw a marginal dip due to lower orders, but order books remain normal and demand is expected to recover. In contrast, confidence in the trade sector (-6.1 vs -7.2) improved for a second consecutive month, as stronger expectations for orders and demand outweighed a more pessimistic outlook for employment.
