\nSittings: Sitting of 12 February 2026
\nExpanded question 70 by Laurent Mosar on the state of play for the opening of bank accounts was answered by the finance minister, who offered to bring the question of a right to a basic account for companies to the Finance Committee before Easter; the Chamber then debated and adopted bill 8628 transposing the AIFMD-2 directive on investment funds by 58 votes to 2.
\nLaurent Mosar (CSV), citing a figure for how long the opening of a bank account takes:
\n\n\nAn zesumme mam Finanzminister ware mer virun engem knappe Joer an enger Table ronde, wou selwer de CEO vun enger grousser lëtzebuergescher Bank eis gesot huet, datt et an der Moyenne – lauschtert gutt no! – fënnef Méint dauert, ier e Bankekont opgemaach gëtt.
\n
Together with the finance minister, barely a year ago, we were at a round table where the CEO of a large Luxembourg bank himself told us that on average, listen carefully, it takes five months before a bank account is opened.

Because access to a bank account is not a luxury. It is actually a necessity.
