At present, the financial
sector has a higher level
of
solidity
than before the
financial crisis. It has managed,
for example, to achieve a
deleveraging from 31,9 down
to 18,3 between the summer
of 2007 and march 2012.
Belgians are
savers
by nature:
in september 2012, the amount
outstanding on savings books
was 230,2 billion EUR.
For
each euro
coming in
from saving, one euro
is
invested
in lending to
households, companies
and public authorities.
