As of 2024, Luxembourg has a population of about 671,000, with Luxembourgish, French, and German as official languages, alongside Portuguese and English widely spoken.

Luxembourg has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world at $128,200 and a GDP of $93.20 billion, driven by banking and financial services, construction, real estate, iron and steel, information technology, telecommunications, cargo transportation, chemicals, engineering, tires, glass, aluminum, tourism, and biotechnology. Key agricultural products include milk, wheat, barley, triticale, potatoes, and grapes, while natural resources include iron ore and arable land. The unemployment rate is 6.3% as of 2025. Luxembourg is a global financial center with a highly capitalized banking sector, though it faces challenges including pension-system sustainability and energy price volatility.
