Logistics has hefty share of foreign investment in Wallonia

Wallonia attracted €640 million in foreign investment last year (113 files). This made 2014 an above-average year as, over the past 15 years, the number of successfully closed files per year averaged 83 files and the number of jobs created averaged 1,733. Only the average investment amount, at 706 million euros, was higher than last year’s 640 million euros. According to AWEX, the average amount is high because of some very large investments from the likes of Biowanze, Nuon and Enel in the years 2006 and 2011.
