Producer prices in Belgium fell by 0.4% year-on-year in February 2026, easing from a 0.6% drop in the previous month.

Among sectors, prices increased for manufacturing (0.3% vs -0.1%) and water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities (4.4% vs 16.4%).

Additionally, deflation eased for mining and quarrying (-0.7% vs -1.2%).

In contrast, costs decreased faster for electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (-8.8% vs -7.4%).

On a monthly basis, producer prices rose by 0.4% in February, slowing from a 1.5% gain in the preceding period.
