Belgium attracts increasingly less foreign investments, last year there was 33 percent less invested in Belgium than in 2007.In 2008 they invested especially in the chemical and metal industry, on the other hand the investments in the pharmaceutical sector and service industry decreased sharply.
The most important investors are still companies from the US, Germany and the Netherlands.
The cause of this strong fall is partly the economical crisis, but also a negative trend which occurs already during a few years.
