OECD Economic Surveys: Luxembourg 2019

Abstract

This Survey is published on the responsibility of the Economic and Development Review Committee of the OECD, which is charged with the examination of the economic situation of member countries.

The economic situation and policies of Luxembourg were reviewed by the Committee on 6 May 2019. The draft report was then revised in the light of the discussions and given final approval as the agreed report of the whole Committee on 22 May 2019.

The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Committee by Álvaro Pina, Jan Strasky, and Christina Timiliotis, under the supervision of Pierre Beynet. The Survey also benefitted from consultancy work by Guillaume Claveres. Statistical research assistance was provided by Paula Adamczyk and editorial support was provided by Poeli Bojorquez.

The previous Survey of Luxembourg was issued in June 2017.
