Housing and pensions are key concerns for the future according to the BCL.

High housing prices pose a serious problem with serious consequences. The institution also expressed fears for the pension system after 2049. According to BCL forecasts, the compensation reserve of the general pension insurance scheme will pass below the legal limit in 2044 to fall into negative figures five years later.

The BCL advised reforming the pension system in Luxembourg.
