Regulations and directives

Find your way out of the labyrinth

Luxembourg market is subject to regulations and directives both at European and international levels.

These directives and regulations concern companies from the financial industry (banks, insurances, investment funds management companies, FSP, etc), but also from other sectors (norms about anti-money laundering, or accounting standards concern all types of companies).

Their aim is to:

  • Harmonise the rules to facilitate services sale across frontiers and to improve the international competition
  • Regulate practices to allow a greater financial transparency
  • Limit the risks taken by companies to protect the market and the clients

Regulations labyrinth

Regulations and directives have multiplied and/or have deeply evolved over the last years. For many companies, to be compliant with all these rules is a real challenge. Furthermore, the financial crisis has increased the demand of evolution or strengthening of regulation from economic actors.

The cost of compliance, at every level of the company, is quite significant, but nonetheless, this strategic investment is nothing compared to the consequences of a bad risk management.
