The Federal Planning Bureau (FPB) is a Belgian independent public agency that carries out research and makes projections on economic, social and environmental policy issues.
It also studies the integration of these policy issues within a context of sustainable development.
On 25 November 2023, the Council of Ministers approved a draft royal decree appointing Baudouin Regout as the new Commissioner of the FPB.
From 1980 onward, the Planning Bureau abandoned its former approach and focused on the elaboration of economic medium-term projections and impact studies on different subjects.
The FPB can also undertake projects at its own initiative or within the framework of research contracts with third parties.
