The impossible task of reducing the cost of supervision

Despite growing public support for the CSSF, a reduction in supervisory costs remains unlikely. Given the rigid budgetary structure, the transfer of fines to the State and the risk of increased centralisation via ESMA, the overall cost could even rise further.

How MTG built its machine to conquer the global gaming market

In 15 months, a Luxembourg-based holding company has become a key player in a major shake-up of the European mobile gaming industry. Through three notarised deeds, Sweden’s MTG has devised a unique structure: its Midcore District based in the Grand Duchy and its Indian studio PlaySimple, which is set to go public in Mumbai with a valuation of $450m. And an ambition to double its turnover to €2bn.
