Belgian households held €293.7 billion in various types of funds, both Belgian and foreign, at the end of the first quarter of 2025, the National Bank of Belgium, BNB, reported on Thursday.
This represented a €4.9-billion drop compared to the previous quarter, according to the BNB.
This decline was due to the fact that net purchases of units (+€3.4 billion) were more than offset by very negative valuation effects (-€8.3 billion), according to the bank.
Just under half of the total amount, €140.1 billion, were units issued by Belgian funds.
