What This Means

QGI found 154,942historical cases where other countries' economic indicators followed a trajectory that subsequently led to a fiscal policy change event. Belgium's current indicator trajectory matches these historical patterns.

This does not mean Belgium will experience fiscal policy change. It means the economic conditions that historically preceded such events in other countries are present in Belgium's current data. Analysts should examine the underlying evidence and apply domain expertise.

QGI surfaces economically-grounded risk candidates that analysts should examine. Risk tiers reflect historical precedent density, not probability forecasts.
