David Clarinval pursues ambitious reforms for the economy and employment in 2026

05/03/2026
In brief

In 2026, David Clarinval wants to make this legislature one of valuing work and business competitiveness. He sets three priorities: attracting investment to create value and jobs, modernising the labour market, and strengthening pathways to employment by removing barriers to hiring and better linking training to business needs.

At the start of this week, the minister presented his general policy notes to Parliament to get our economy moving. Valuing work and boosting the competitiveness of our businesses are at the heart of the programme.

Minister Clarinval set out to MPs in committee his vision and the priorities he intends to advance this year.

“I want to pursue ambitious reforms and make this legislature one of valuing work and the competitiveness of our businesses.”

This means creating favourable conditions to attract investment and enable businesses to create value, hire, and establish themselves sustainably in Belgium and Europe.

This means modernising the labour market and strengthening pathways to employment: giving everyone the means to bounce back, removing barriers to hiring, and better connecting training with business needs.
