Belgian consumer confidence improved in March, according to the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI), signaling a modest strengthening in sentiment month over month. The index rose to 44.98 in March 2026, up from 42.55 in February 2026.
The month-over-month comparison framework indicates that the latest reading reflects how sentiment in March has changed relative to February, while the February value itself was a comparison against January. With the index still below the 50-point threshold often seen as a neutral line, the move to 44.98 suggests consumers in Belgium remain cautious, but slightly less so than a month earlier.
The data, last updated on 12 March 2026, will be closely watched by analysts and market participants assessing the resilience of Belgian households amid ongoing global economic uncertainty and shifting financial conditions.
