This assessment received government comments and feedback on the finalised data. These comments have been incorporated into the assessment at the GDI research team’s discretion. Usually the comments received highlight where a bill is in formulation, or has recently passed into law, and this has been missed by the country assessor. Only comments which are grounded in evidence are incorporated into the assessment.

Belgium’s defence sector is at relatively low risk of corruption. Institutional resilience is built on good transparency in financial and personnel management and relatively strong external oversight of policymaking. Nevertheless, risks remain high on operations where anti-corruption safeguards are lacking.
