6 #Business | FinTech As the prime gateway to the EU market, Luxembourg helps these companies to serve the whole European market. In return, their presence in Luxembourg helps to push innovation in the EU by bringing new ideas and talents. They help enriching the already highly competitive and innovative local Fintech ecosystem. Since the vote in favor of Brexit, several finance and insurance companies have decided to set up their European headquarters in Luxembourg. According to you, why did these companies decide to join Luxembourg over other European leading financial cities? What the Brexit has shown first and foremost, is that Luxembourg is one of the most competitive financial centers in the EU. By that I mean, unlike other European financial centers, Luxembourg did not actively try to attract companies, based in the UK, in the wake of the referendum. Due solely to the attractiveness of the financial center and its ecosystem, Luxembourg has managed to attract more financial players than other European financial centers. Luxembourg is the natural choice for companies that prepare for a hard Brexit. Furthermore, the fact that Luxembourg’s and the UK’s industries have been complementary for a long time, makes our financial center even more attractive. Do you think that this trend will lead to other companies moving to Luxembourg and benefiting from its advantages? For companies from outside the EU that want to operate inside the EU, Luxembourg is and has always been a natural choice. I think for example of Swiss banks and insurers. Let me also remind you that over the last 30 years, Luxembourg has been the first choice for Chinese banks in Europe. Only in the last 5 years, 4 additional Chinese banks have chosen Luxembourg as their European HQ. Today, 7 Chinese banks have their European HQ here in Luxembourg. This reality has thus existed for many years, and in a way the Brexit has been an accelerator. I am thus very confident that companies will continue to join over the next years. PSD2 is also changing the way banks and tech companies are collaborating, and aim at benefiting the end-user with smoother and easy-to-use secure solutions to process payments. How can Luxembourg be a leader/pioneer in this topic? By establishing an innovation friendly regulatory framework, the EU is preparing the industry to adapt to change. The PSD2 gives a good idea of where the global industry is headed, and the effects will be felt across the globe. The regulation will force financial service providers to develop an open banking strategy. In this context, Fintech startups are enablers – and not disruptors. Once again, collaboration is key to success. I welcome the LuxHub initiative, which has been launched recently by four major Luxembourg banks. This initiative will help the local industry to develop new innovative solutions and standards in the age of open banking. Today, the LHoFT hosts a critical mass of startups active in payments that will help prepare the industry for open banking. Hence, I’m very optimistic for the future development of the Luxembourg financial center. <strong>BEAST</strong> MAGAZINE <strong>#12</strong> © Photographie - Dominique Gaul
