Belgium

Belgium's overall WokeMeter assessment score is 48, placing it at a moderate policy signalling intensity level. This evaluation aligns closely with the composite dimension scores, which average around 48.00. Belgium's progressive policies manifest in areas like speech and expression climate, education and curriculum signalling, and media and platform moderation. However, the moderate scores across all dimensions suggest a balanced approach without significant recent shifts in policy signalling intensity. The absence of any tracked recent events further contributes to the stability of this score, indicating a consistent policy environment without significant new legislative or regulatory changes that would elevate or diminish the intensity score.

Examining the dimension scores, each area such as speech and expression climate and corporate/investor signalling consistently scores around 48.03. This suggests a uniform approach to policy signalling across different sectors. The institutional DEI policy intensity and speech and expression climate, both carrying an 18% weight, reflect moderate signalling, indicating Belgium's ongoing commitment to maintaining established policies without recent intensification. The legislative/regulatory activism score of 47.79, slightly lower than others, indicates marginally less emphasis on new legislative initiatives. Overall, Belgium's policy signalling intensity reveals a stable and moderate presence in the global context, without recent trends pushing it towards higher signalling intensity.
