Luxembourg-World's Most Open Country for Business-卢森堡:全球最佳商业氛围国家
In the U.S. News & World Report's inaugural "Best Countries" ranking, conducted by the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and strategy firm BAV Consulting, the Grand Duchy was rated as the most business-friendly nation that attracts investment.
The rankings asked more than 16,000 people to link some 60 countries with a variety of characteristics. The sub ranking category in which Luxembourg places top weighs a variety of factors, including a favourable tax environment, low bureaucracy and corruption levels, transparency in government practices and costs associated with manufacturing. The study places various weights in other categories. Luxembourg scored 5th for best country to headquarter a corporation and did also well in other categories like citizenship (10th) and quality of life (10th).
Guardian Industries Corp., Amazon, Millicom, Paypal, Apple iTunes, Rakuten, Fanuc Robotics, Skype and Delphi are just some examples of the international groups that have chosen Luxembourg for their European business headquarters. To these names can be added firms with a global HQ in the Grand Duchy: ArcelorMittal (the world leading steel producer), SES (the world’s largest satellite firm), Cargolux(the largest all-cargo airline in Europe), RTL Group (a major pan-European broadcaster), to name but a few.
These businesses were attracted by different factors: a central location providing easy access to a single market of 500 million inhabitants, the availability of a qualified, multilingual workforce, a diverse range of research centres, the pleasant quality of life, a stable political, social and economic environment, competitive tax and social security costs, a modern legal and regulatory framework and a wide network of double-taxation treaties.
