The CSSF represents Luxembourg in the area of European and international supervision.

In pursuing its objectives, the CSSF applies a prudential approach in line with the international standards, in accordance with the principle of proportionality. This approach is implemented in a professional manner, thereby ensuring an independent, forward-looking and risk-based supervision.

The CSSF is transparent and fosters effective communication with the stakeholders of the financial sector while fully complying with the professional secrecy requirements. It considers integrity and accountability to be of utmost importance and delivers on its commitment and adapts to reach its objectives. The CSSF is committed to good governance and to performing its tasks with efficiency, in a spirit of internal cooperation as well as at national, European and international level.
