Measuring the importance of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg by its size of 2,586 square kilometres or by its population of about half a million people does not do justice to its political and, more importantly, its economic importance globally. Luxembourg is now a strategic gateway for investments into Europe and, generally, for structuring investments worldwide.
