As was seen across Europe, as the market was recovering, the companies in Belgium focused on investing rather than cost-cutting, which could have seen a fall in salaries as well as a reduction in hiring and an increase in redundancies. Choosing an investment strategy saw hiring increase, which, in turn, will further boost its economy. However, there was little increase in the salaries as the companies are still recovering from the economic downturn.
