The Central Bank of Belgium (BNB) predicts that it will have a negative capital position by 2027, meaning that its liabilities will exceed the value of its assets.
Also, the BNB stated in a statement that it expects to end this financial year with a loss in the range of 600 to 800 million euros, which is the first such loss since World War II. As a solution, the bank will have to use its financial reserves of 7.08 billion euros, with the fact that they are less than the expected losses until the end of the financial year 2027, which could exceed 9 billion euros.
