The De Wever Government Agreement
Dear reader,
The long-awaited federal government agreement (2025-2029) concluded on Friday evening (31.01.2025) – 236 days after the elections – includes many new measures in our areas of expertise.
What changes will be made in terms of employment law, taxation, social security and pensions, and what impact will the government agreement have on your day-to-day HR practice?
In this newsletter, we present the guidelines of the text of this government agreement. The De Wever government intends to be a government of reforms, aiming to reduce the budget deficit, with several structural reforms in the areas of the labour market, pensions and taxation.
Many of the measures announced remain expressed in general terms. In the coming months, the coalition parties – sometimes in consultation with, or at the initiative of, the social partners – will be working on their implementation. We will keep you informed as soon as more concrete details become available, and we invite you to take part in several webinars and seminars on this subject over the coming weeks.
Enjoy your reading!
