Capital markets provide the platform to facilitate the exchange of capital between market participants in the form of equity securities, bonds, or other financial instruments.

The European Union wants to create one single market for this capital exchange (capital markets union or CMU), aiming to get money – investments and savings – flowing across the EU so that it can benefit consumers, investors and companies, regardless of where they are located.

Luxembourg (‘AAA’ rating) has grown to become an international leader in debt capital and a key financial hub for securitisation and structured finance vehicles.

It is centrally located in Europe and has a well-developed financial infrastructure, making it an attractive location for international investors. The country also has a large network of double taxation treaties, which can facilitate cross-border investments.

Luxembourg has a large and well-developed financial services sector, with a range of high-quality service providers available to arrangers and investors. This can help to ensure that arrangers and investors receive top-notch service and support.

Overall, Luxembourg’s capital markets offer a combination of stability, strong regulation and investment opportunities that can be attractive to investors looking to diversify their portfolios and access global markets.
