The 2024 annual report of Luxembourg's National Pension Insurance Office (CNAP) reveals that €6.8 billion in pensions were paid to over 233,000 beneficiaries across 117 countries, alongside tens of thousands of applications, information requests, and service interactions.

The National Pension Insurance Office (CNAP) paid out a total of €6.8 billion in pensions last year, according to its 2024 annual report published on Tuesday. A total of 233,286 pensioners benefited from these payments, including recipients living across 117 different countries.

Pensions are thus paid out to people across the entire world, with payments abroad – at 51.6% – now outpacing those made within the Grand Duchy. France represents the country with the highest rate of Luxembourgish pensions at 18.4% (42,294 pensions), followed by Germany at 11.69% (26,865 pensions) and Belgium at 9.74% (22,394 pensions).

The Baltic states, meanwhile, show the lowest rate of Luxembourg pension recipients.

Over the course of 2024, 23,879 new pension applications were submitted.

The CNAP also processed a significant volume of communication: 275,500 outgoing letters were sent, while incoming post averaged 1,949 items per day. In addition, there were 13,774 formal requests for information and 26,700 in-person visits to CNAP service counters.

To help ensure continued access and support, the 'Pensions' hotline received more than 120,000 calls, and the official website, cnap.lu, recorded over 45,000 inquiries.

  1. Not related to Luxembourg but there is a real question with regards to where the pension shall be spent.

    I personally have a real hard time to limit people’s freedom to do what they want when they retire but at the same time cannot understand how sustainable this can be that one contribute to a system its whole life and spends it all in another system afterward without some kind of reciprocal mechanism.

    As a shitty business major I’d be curious to hear about some economist view in this sub.
