Only 5,5 % of Belgians invests on stock market!

Ridiculously low

Today a press release came from the Belgian financial regulators. And the news was quite astonishing. Apparently only 5,5 % of all Belgians invest in the stock market. ETF’s included. That is ridiculously low, and shows how risk avoiding Belgians are.

Losing purchasing value

So, 94,5 % of Belgians put their money into savings accounts and bonds. Which makes people lose purchasing power every single year did to inflation. So, the majority of Belgians are getting poorer every day. Which is incredibly sad!

Let’s hope people get smarteg and invest more and more!

"It's really surprising that only 5.5% of Belgians invest. Could the lack of financial education be one of the main reasons behind this?"

Could be, still education is quite high in Belgium

That’s a pretty sad percentages
In finance and business, no risk no gain and that’s why many are poor
