Every euro spent in Kraainem is analyzed with the utmost care in order to maintain and improve the quality of life of our residents, now and in the years to come.
Belfius’ annual benchmark1 confirms that the municipality’s finances are under control and healthy.

I regularly talk about the Commune’s financial situation during my weekly Facebook Live videos on Friday evenings at 6:00 p.m. [disponibles également sur YouTube]These included those following the June 25, 2024 Local Council meeting, during which cash flow, reserves and debts were discussed in detail. Feel free to consult them.

  2. Reserves
  3. Indebtedness
