Tokyo and Luxembourg have signed a new financial cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening ties between the two international financial centres. The partnership, signed during SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, focuses on joint financial promotion initiatives, fintech collaboration, sustainable finance, knowledge exchange, and mobilising private capital for the net-zero transition. The agreement also reflects growing cooperation between Asia and Europe ahead of the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and Luxembourg in 2027.
Luxembourg has officially adopted new reforms for SARLs (private limited liability companies), allowing founders to defer payment of the minimum €12,000 share capital for up to 12 months after incorporation. Previously, the full amount had to be paid upfront before a company could be formed. The reform, adopted under Bill No. 8669, also means companies can now be incorporated before opening a bank account, helping speed up business creation and reducing administrative delays. The changes are designed to make Luxembourg more attractive for startups, entrepreneurs, private equity, real estate, and alternative investment structures. Key safeguards remain in place: any share premium and any capital above the €12,000 minimum must still be fully paid at incorporation, while contributions in kind remain subject to immediate payment requirements. The new rules align Luxembourg with EU Directive 2017/1132 and are aimed at improving the country’s competitiveness as an international business and investment hub.

Luxembourg continues to invest heavily in rail connectivity and international transport infrastructure as commuter numbers and regional integration increase.
