(en) The Belgian model of budget cooperation has been originally devised to maintain Belgian economic and monetary union through a close follow-up of Regions and Communities deficits and debts. Enlarged to take into account European budgetary constraints, this model has devoted a growing attention to the local sector, as detailed in this paper. Up to now, budget and debt assignments for local authorities have been agreed by the supervisory authorities – the Regions – despite the lack of available data on a regional basis. Developments could come from greater involvement and responsibility from local authorities themselves.
