Luxembourg
The evolution of Luxembourg into an international financial centre began as American, German, and Swiss Banks initiated business development in the Euromarkets.
The activities of the financial centre spread progressively wider, firstly to private banking and asset management and later to investment funds. A series of niche activities were added over the course of the last twenty years and today the Luxembourg financial centre is broadly diversified. This success is based first and foremost on a modern legal and regulatory framework which is particularly business friendly. As a Member State of the European Union, this framework is largely predefined by European Directives.
Today the Luxembourg financial centre is the largest investment fund centre in Europe - and second in the world after the United States - the leading private banking centre in the Eurozone and the largest captive reinsurance centre in Europe.
