Economisch commentaar Engelstalige versie
Ondanks de recente schuldafbouw blijft de schuldenlast in de private sector in veel eurozone lidstaten hoog. De private sector in Cyprus, Griekenland, Ierland, Portugal, Spanje, Finland en Luxemburg is het meest kwetsbaar voor hogere rentes.
Special
In many Eurozone countries, private sector debt has decreased in recent years and so has the vulnerability of the private sector to higher interest rates. Yet in many countries debt remains high and in several countries vulnerabilities are still present.
Landenrapport
Luxembourg continued to show robust growth in 2015. New fiscal and financial regulation is heading towards Luxembourg, challenging its financial sector-driven growth model.
Landenrapport
Economic growth in Luxembourg remains strong, but international regulatory changes could chal-lenge the country’s economic model and strong fiscal position in the future.
Economisch commentaar
Nadat het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar in economisch opzicht voor veel landen tegenviel, wordt de hoop gevestigd op een betere tweede helft. Per saldo verwachten we dat de hoop werkelijkheid wordt. Echter niet alle landen laten hetzelfde beeld zien.
Landenrapport
The economy of Luxembourg took a positive turn in 2013 and the already strong fiscal position improved. However, in the longer term, the country needs to deal with challenges such as legislative harmonisation at the EU level and rising ageing costs.
Landenrapport
Although Luxembourg’s austerity effort is limited, in combination with the slow recovery in the eurozone, it will hamper economic growth during 2013. Supervisory reforms might have an impact on its position in the international financial sector.
Landenrapport
Economic growth was very disappointing in 2011 thanks to the weakening of global activity and European debt crisis. Going forward, Luxembourg's growth performance is unlikely to return to the lofty levels witnessed earlier this decade.
Landenrapport
Luxembourg's solid economic performance and creditworthiness (i.e. ample financial cushion) shall remain underpinned by a strong public sector balance sheet and exceptionally high levels of prosperity (per capita income was USD 90,000 in 2010).
