Luxembourg is an export-intensive economy. The country has traditionally imported most of its consumer goods and exported industrial products (steel). Exports now also include chemical and rubber products, finished glass and the most profitable financial services. The nation remains dependent on energy imports. European Union is by far its largest trading partner, accounting for about 84% of exports and 87% of imports.

Latest Updates

Luxembourg’s trade deficit widened to EUR 0.87 billion in August 2025 from EUR 0.59 billion in the same month a year earlier, as imports outpaced exports. Imports climbed by 17.7% year-on-year to EUR 1.93 billion, mainly driven by sharply higher purchases of transport equipment (29.7%), crude materials, inedible, oils, fats and waxes (27.3%), and mineral fuels and lubricants (27%). Meanwhile, exports rose at a softer 1% to EUR 1.06 billion, supported by increased shipments of crude materials, inedible, oils, fats and waxes (19%) and beverages and tobacco (13.6%).
