About

The news, explained for your wallet.
Every week there’s a new headline about interest rates, inflation, energy bills or the state budget. Most of it is written for people who already know the jargon. The Luxembourger is written for everyone else.

I explain what the news means for ordinary people living in Luxembourg and the wider EU, in plain English and without the panic.
