A person who died without heirs left roughly €400 million to the Luxembourg state, Finance Minister Gilles Roth confirmed while presenting the half-year public accounts. The windfall almost exactly covers the €432.5 million tripartite relief package voted on 9 July — and flatters a budget that would otherwise show a far deeper deficit.
Luxembourg's Chamber of Deputies on 9 July approved subsidies on motor fuel, gas, electricity and heating oil for households and businesses, part of a €432.5 million tripartite package prompted by an oil-price shock from the Strait of Hormuz. Opponents backed the aid but criticised its cost and its late start.
STATEC has presented a scenario on how a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz could affect Luxembourg, putting energy prices, inflation and economic planning back into focus.
On 20 March 2026, ArcelorMittal, the Ministries of Labour and the Economy, and trade unions signed LUX2029 — a four-year agreement committing the steelmaker to invest at least €290.5 million in Luxembourg's production sites.
