It’s not all doom and gloom for 2021: as panelists during Thursday’s Luxembourg for Finance “Focus on 2021” discussed, there are some positive trends on the horizon for the year ahead.
A four-answer option poll carried out during the webinar asked the approximately 700 participants based in Europe, the US, Asia and beyond what trend would dominate business in 2021. Covid-19 and digitalisation were selected as the main trends (at roughly 33% each), with sustainable finance just under (30%). Brexit, on the other hand, was selected by only 4% of the participants.
For panelist Keith O’Donnell, Atoz Tax Advisers Luxembourg managing partner, this doesn’t come as much of a surprise. “Personally, as a European, the rule of law question in the long term is more important than Brexit,” he said.
