Banking and Finance in Luxembourg
06 January 2023
Despite the continuing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine affecting all of Europe and an ever more dire energy and inflation crisis, the banking and finance industry in Luxembourg has managed to remain very active in 2022. This is, among others, also undoubtedly the result of constantly adaptations to the legal framework governing banking and capital markets transactions, proving to be increasingly suitable to all types of market participants looking for tailor-made solutions for their investments and acquisitions.
One of the major legal events in 2022 was the adoption of the new Luxembourg Securitisation Law of 25 February 2022. In addition, the latest developments in blockchain technology and the corresponding improvement of the Luxembourg legal framework in the context of dematerialised securities and DTL issuances are bound to provide further enhancements for various types of finance transactions. Furthermore, new legislation with respect to crowdfunding, the reform of the Luxembourg Financial Collateral Law and new, less onerous listing opportunities on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange are definitely worth some attention as they entail additional advantages for those who wish to benefit from Luxembourg’s highly investment-friendly environment.
Against this backdrop, we have put together this overview which you can download below containing useful in-depth information with respect to the above-mentioned topics. We hope that the readers will be able to find some interesting aspects they might not have been aware of yet and which could be helpful with respect to their future finance transactions in 2023.
In any event we wish you a very happy and prosperous new year!
