The total value of goods imported into Belgium from the United States has fallen by 22.8 per cent in the period from 1 May to 31 July compared to the same period last year. This is according to data from the National Bank released on Tuesday. Conversely, Belgian exports to the USA (in value) increased by 13.5 per cent.
