The six parties tasked with creating Belgium’s new structure finally reached agreement over the weekend, in large part due to pressure from a downgrade of Belgium’s debt by Standard & Poor’s last Friday. Standard & Poor’s lowered Belgium’s long-term sovereign debt rating on Friday, Nov. 25, from AA+ to AA. Standard and Poor’s, citing as the factors for the downgrade, Belgium’s slowdown in exports and its lack of a permanent government. Belgium has had a caretaker government since June 13, 2010. The former government failed due to political divisions between the approximately 6.5 million Dutch-speakers in the Flanders region and 4.5 million French-speakers in the Wallonia region.
