The Institution
The Federal Planning Bureau (FPB) is an independent public agency. It draws up studies and projections on economic, social and environmental policy issues and on the integration of these policies within a context of sustainable development.
After his studies Business Engineering (Ghent University), Guy Trachez started working at the Federal Planning Bureau in 2019. As a data analyst within the Sectoral and environmental accounts and analyses team, he carries out quantitative analyses in the field of globalisation and value creation based on supply and use tables (SUT) and input-output tables (IOT).
He has contributed to the Eurostat HeterIO-project examining how conventional SUT can be broken down by alternative forms of heterogeneity, such as size, ownership, exporter status and other firm characteristics. These extended tables allow the role and impact of different types of firms within global value chains (GVCs) to be investigated.
As from January 2021, Guy participates in the drawing up and analysis of various environmental economic accounts, including the Environmental Taxes by Economic Activity (ETEA), the Air Emissions Accounts (AEA), and the Physical Energy Flow Accounts (PEFA).

A macro-economic analysis of the activity of multinational groups is of particular interest for economic policy in a country like Belgium with a longstanding tradition of openness to foreign investment. This working paper combines a database of enterprise groups that are active in Belgium with industry-level data from the national accounts to show that multinational groups play an important role in the Belgian economy. Together, foreign affiliates and firms that are part of a Belgian multinational group account for more than 40% of GDP, 25% of total employment and 75% of exports.
