| Economy overview :
| This stable, high-income economy features solid growth, low inflation, and low unemployment. The industrial sector, initially dominated by steel, has become increasingly diversified to include chemicals, rubber, and other products. Growth in the financial sector, which now accounts for about 22% of GDP, has more than compensated for the decline in steel. Most banks are foreign-owned and have extensive foreign dealings. Agriculture is based on small family-owned farms. The economy depends on foreign and trans-border workers for more than 30% of its labor force. Although Luxembourg, like all EU members, has suffered from the global economic slump, the country has maintained a fairly strong growth rate and enjoys an extraordinarily high standard of living. .

| Hymne :
| Où l'Our arose champs et prés,
Où la douce Moselle,
Baigne le roc du flanc doré,
Où le vin etincelle,
C'est mon pays au sang loyal
Mon âme en est remplie,
C'est mon foyer, mon sol natal,
C'est ma chère patrie..
