Act establishing the general expenditure budget for the 2026 financial year

The 2026 Belgian General Expenditure Budget Law reinforces the federal government’s climate agenda primarily through dedicated financing mechanisms. The law allocates budgetary support to the Climate, Transition and Recovery Fund, authorizing subsidies for projects financed through this federal investment instrument and allowing it to operate with substantial borrowing capacity to accelerate climate and transition investments. More broadly, the law embeds climate action within public expenditure planning by supporting investments linked to the energy transition, decarbonisation, sustainable economic transformation, and federal recovery priorities, aligning fiscal policy with Belgium’s longer-term climate and transition objective.
