Luxembourg vis-a-vis its destiny
I can see five simultaneous major risks for Luxembourg:
1. The subprimes, which still will hold surprises in the coming months as most auditors did not do their prudential duty
2. The banking secrecy called in question as the internal pressure is growing
3. The international fight against offshore jurisdictions as the Corporate Registration is a mess with dubious firms and dubious statutory auditors including auditors from the BVI, the Seychelles and other exotic jurisdictions
4. Madoff/UBS-Luxalpha as the Luxembourg authorities deceived.
5. The risk of Sanctions for violation of “Qualified Intermediary” in the USA as the American justice will not appreciate if American citizens' assets were hidden
The behaviors as well of the politicians as of the professionals are not worthy of stakes.
