In a Trends-Tendances interview, I explained how Luxembourg’s financial centre keeps reinventing itself and has become more diversified and international over the past decade. In the discussion with Sébastien Buron in Brussels, I highlighted: - Private banking assets have doubled to €630bn since the end of banking secrecy - Record growth in insurance, notably life - Strong momentum in private assets, with more than €2.4 trillion AuM in alternative funds - Rapid growth in ETFs in recent years - Becoming a key centre for digital assets, tokenisation and the EU location of choice for serious crypto players Through it all, one thing has remained constant: Luxembourg’s unique mix of stability and innovation, which continues to attract global players. https://lnkd.in/eEPM-mRG Ministry of Finance, Luxembourg Luxembourg for Finance ABBL ALFI - Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry ACA Luxembourg LuxCMA - Luxembourg Capital Markets Association LPEA - Luxembourg Private Equity & Venture Capital Association Jean-Louis Thill

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 At CACEIS, we have both a responsibility and the determination to expand European asset servicing and asset management businesses internationally, leveraging the expertise and robustness of Paris’s financial centre. Our role is to support our clients, who currently entrust us with two-thirds of French financial savings. Compliance and technology are central to this role. We are at a turning point: Technology, including AI, is a major driver of change. It streamlines our processes, strengthens our controls, and boosts our employees’ skillsets. It is a virtuous circle: the more skilled our staff become, the more our clients benefit from their high-level of expertise, and the more we build up Paris’s reputation as a strong, resilient, and innovative European financial centre at a time when we need to prioritise Europe’s financial sovereignty. Tomorrow’s financial world will be technological, but it must, above all, remain human and sovereign. 🙏 My thanks go to Finance Innovation, the Groupe Crédit Agricole Innovation team, our partners and panellists for making this second event such a success. #RegTechDay
