The Brussels Institute for Statistics and Analysis (BISA) has revealed that a little over 2.7% of Brussels companies have left the capital in 2021. A vast majority of these businesses moved to the neighbouring provinces of the Flemish and Walloon Brabants.
BISA's findings, which were released on Tuesday, revealed that a total of 3,119 companies which were registered and paid tax in the Region of Brussels-Capital had left the capital in 2021.
However, as previously mentioned, most of these companies chose to move to the so-called suburbs of Brussels, with two-thirds of them relocating to the neighbouring provinces of Walloon and Flemish Brabants.

As a result, these latest figures fall in line with another one of BISA's surveys which indicated that less than 1% of companies had left Brussels in the past decade, dispelling any fears that the Belgian capital had been facing a mass exodus of companies in recent times.
