Conjoncture Flash November 2017

Since 2008, apparent labour productivity in Luxembourg seems to be stagnating overall. However, much of this is due to falling productivity in sectors where measurement poses conceptual prob-lems, such as the financial sector, real estate activities and public services. Productivity is recovering in all other sectors, in line with the trend observed in the euro zone.
