A stable and multilingual environment...sheltered from bad surprises

Luxembourg : a show model for Europe

In Luxembourg, the public finances are in good shape, thus avoiding bad surprises that are more likely to occur in an economically and politically volatile environment. Public debt is practically non-existent and the country does not have to carry the burden of a budget deficit. It's not surprising that Luxembourg was the first country to meet the criteria of Maastricht with respect to the adhesion to Europe's common currency, the Euro.

Your benefits

Aiming for economic growth, Luxembourg can continue to follow a policy of neutral taxation, which is regarded hospitable towards investors from all over the world. Aside from its privileged central geographic location, the Grand Duchy is indeed blessed with a remarkable political and social stability.

About your protection

Luxembourg is a financial centre that is renowned for its abilities in international financial management. It is the only country to have accumulated significant experience in the field of "Freedom of services" (LPS) with regard to banking and insurance products. Numerous Investment products, together with flexible inheritance devolution practices have even further boosted the recent trend of inflowing capital. However, Luxembourg refuses to be regarded as a kind of financial Wild West where "loose guns" can do whatever they please and where everything is tolerated. Luxembourg, being a European capital (aside Strasbourg and Brussels), a full member state of the European Union and an important financial centre, the country made sure that regulators and supervisory bodies are working flawlessly. Strict business authorisation procedures together with tough implementation rules are currently being followed. The activities and the state of the financial institutions and their intermediaries are controlled permanently and effectively.
