National & international economic affairs
UEL works to strengthen the competitiveness and attractiveness of the Luxembourg economy.
How is our economy doing? How attractive is Luxembourg in a rapidly changing international context? What are the socio-economic challenges and opportunities? UEL closely monitors various economic indicators that enable Luxembourg to be benchmarked against other countries.
UEL contributes to discussions on major issues, particularly in the areas of productivity, growth, public finances, corporate financing and profitability, as well as digital, demographic and ecological transitions.

Competition & Consumers
Luxembourg companies operate in an increasingly competitive environment, at the national, European, and international levels. This openness to other countries is essential for a relatively small country like Luxembourg, where cross-border trade plays a significant role.
In this context, the internal market resulting from the commitments of European Union member states allows Luxembourg companies to benefit from a broader market for the exchange of goods and services. The UEL therefore works to support and promote initiatives aimed at better integration of the single market and the removal of barriers that still exist within it.
