Luxembourg Government has introduced new legal reforms.

As 2026 begins, the Luxembourg government has rolled out a series of legal and regulatory changes that will affect citizens directly. One major reform, effective January 1, 2026, is a 1.5% increase in pensions to help adjust retirement income with living costs.

Beyond pensions, authorities are implementing wider pension system reforms to ensure long-term sustainability, including higher contributions, extended working-year recognition, and more flexibility for workers nearing retirement.

Additional changes set to unfold through 2026 include updates to housing assistance programs, adjustments in tax and social security law, and preparations for extended education reforms slated for later in the year. 

These updates are part of Luxembourg’s effort to adapt its social system for future demographic and economic trends.
