Belgium

Belgium's Social Policy Signalling Index stands at a composite score of 48, placing it at rank #37 globally. This reflects moderate policy signalling intensity, aligned with the dimension scores which also average around 48 across the board. The consistency in dimension scores indicates a stable policy environment without significant recent shifts in legislative or social activism intensity. The absence of notable recent events or changes in policy frameworks suggests a stability in Belgium's approach to Western-style progressive policy signalling.

The dimension scores, each precisely at 48.03 except for Legislative/Regulatory Activism slightly lower at 47.79, reveal a balanced but moderate signalling intensity across Speech & Expression Climate, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity, and Media & Platform Moderation. This uniformity suggests that Belgium maintains a consistent approach across various policy areas without showing aggressive shifts either towards higher signalling through new initiatives or towards lower signalling through rollbacks or policy reversals. The scores indicate a moderate engagement with progressive policy signalling typical of Western democracies.
