Alexander De Croo

De Croo's record is one of steady ascent through Belgium's complex political landscape. He held four different ministerial portfolios, including the demanding Finance post, before becoming prime minister. His ability to keep a seven-party coalition functioning for over four years is a feat in itself, especially during the twin crises of a pandemic and an energy shock.On the world stage, he has quickly made his mark at the UNDP, championing targeted investments that could save millions from poverty. His warning that cutting aid would be a historic mistake has resonated in international forums.
