Luxembourg is a major financial hub with Europe's highest nominal GDP per capita. It attracts workers from France, Belgium, and Germany (frontaliers — about 45% of the workforce). Salaries are typically 30–50% higher than in neighbouring countries, the tax regime is competitive, and English is widely spoken in the financial sector. However, housing costs in Luxembourg City are extremely high by European standards.
