☐ In order to start reducing its recurrent deficit, Région wallonne has
launched a unique exercise to assess and justify all current / new
budget expenditures. This exercise, called zero based budgeting,
started in January 2020 and is expected to produce incremental
results, starting mid 2021 (see definition slide 14).

Remark: since 2019, regional expenses & revenues are impacted by
the implementation of the 6th State Reform, empowering the
Regions for part of Belgian Social Security budget (Health & Family
Allowances).
