ECON has been active since 1983 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-26k) and a net result of €-22k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 14% of 3539 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.8% (low).
