Summary

ECON has been active since 1991 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €191k and a net result of €313k. Equity is shrinking by ~12.2% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 18% of 1208 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.4% (very low).
