Diversity - Summary of Belgian results for the EBA’s benchmarking exercise on diversity practices and the gender pay gap
The National Bank of Belgium reports that female representation among executive directors and CEOs in Belgian financial institutions increased slightly to 19% and 13% respectively, while the gender pay gap for executive directors widened to approximately 12%. The communication confirms that prudential expectations regarding diversity established in previous guidance remain in force for credit institutions and stockbroking firms. It further notes that the observed pay disparities indicate non-compliance with the principle of equal treatment under Belgian law.
