The Central Bank of Luxembourg (BCL) and the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) have launched the sixth household finance and consumption survey. The survey examines household spending, saving, borrowing and housing circumstances to help assess how monetary policy affects households and inform economic analysis and policymaking within the BCL and the Eurosystem.

The exercise runs in parallel with surveys conducted by all euro area national central banks. Participating households are selected randomly from Luxembourg’s social security register using a procedure designed to produce representative results. LISER and the BCL use the data solely for scientific and statistical purposes, with responses treated confidentially. The BCL regularly publishes aggregated, anonymous results and analysis from the survey.
