Regards 09/23 - Increase in the number of incoming cross-border commuters in 2021

In 2021, the remuneration of incoming frontier workers in Luxembourg amounted to EUR 14.1 billion, while the remuneration received by outgoing cross-border workers amounted to EUR 2 billion, resulting in a balance of payments deficit of EUR 12.1 billion. For the year 2021, social contributions received exceeded social benefits paid to non-residents (excluding unemployment benefits and financial assistance to students living abroad), marking a return to normal compared with the previous year. This trend reflects the post-pandemic economic recovery and the restored balance in the social security system.
