Luxembourg’s reserves in months of imports have risen steadily from the 1999 low of 0.02 to an all‑time peak of 0.08 in 2025, placing the country at rank 155 globally. The modest trough of 0.01 recorded in 2007 marks the only dip in a 27‑year series, after which the upward trajectory has been uninterrupted, reflecting a gradual accumulation of foreign exchange buffers despite the Grand Duchy’s small external trade volume. Compared with peer economies, Luxembourg’s coverage remains below Ireland’s 0.16 and Malta’s 0.31, yet it exceeds the Maldives’ 0.06, underscoring a relatively limited cushion against import shocks. The persistent increase suggests that continued fiscal prudence and a stable current‑account surplus are sustaining the buffer, but any sharp external volatility or a reversal in export performance could curtail the modest gains, making further diversification of reserves a key policy focus.
