The reproduction of the annual report is authorised, provided the source is acknowledged. Design: metaph Printed by: Imprimerie Centrale PREFACE After the shock of the financial crisis in autumn 2008 which affected the Luxembourg financial centre, 2009 started in an atmosphere of suspense. Ultimately, that year finished with results which seem, at first glance, to suggest a return to a normal situation. The depositors’ and investors’ trust gradually returned and the actors of the financial sector started to spread again their activities. The financial markets in particular were revived, which generally allowed the different types of undertakings for collective investment, including specialised funds, SICARs, pension funds and securitisation vehicles to rake in new money and to observe a growth of their investment. However, the profits which the banks registered again give a deceptive image of good health which cannot sustain when carrying out a more in-depth analysis. The profits mainly result from unusually high interest rate margins at the beginning of the year, from a slight decrease in operating costs and from the purely accounting effect registered following the partial offset of capital loss which had been incurred during the peak of the crisis. Thus, if the 2009 results justify in themselves a certain feeling of relief given the prevailing fears at the beginning of the year, they still do not offer a solid basis for a sustainable growth in 2010 and after.

The interest rate on the deposit facility and on the marginal lending facil- ity was lowered by 175 and 125 basis points respectively. Since May 2009, key ECB rates have remained unchanged. Thus, the interest rate on the main refinancing operations stands at 1.00%, while those on the deposit facility and on the marginal lending facility stand at 0.25% and 1.75% respectively. The Governing Council also adopted a series of non-standard measures in order to cope with dysfunctional money markets and facilitate the monetary transmission mechanism. These meas- ures are temporary in nature and designed to maintain price stability over the medium term. Annual HICP inflation stood at 0.3% in 2009, the lowest level on record since the launch of the euro, after a record high of 3.3% in the preceding year. The inflation rate has however edged up gradually, reaching 1.5% in April 2010; according to Eurostat's flash estimate, annual HICP inflation stood at 1.6% in May.

  • Press Release Memorandum of Understanding (“Mou”) Regarding
    Press release Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) regarding the combination of CEGEDEL, SOTEG and Saar Ferngas 23 July 2008 The Minister of Economy and Foreign Trade of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is pleased to announce that the State of Luxembourg, SNCI, ArcelorMittal, RWE Energy, E.ON Ruhrgas, Electrabel and SOTEG have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) regarding the combination of CEGEDEL, SOTEG and Saar Ferngas. The shares of CEGEDEL are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and Euronext Brussels. SOTEG and SFG are unlisted privately held companies. Transaction Rationale The liberalisation of European energy markets has led to increasing and further continuing sector consolidation. This has changed the competitive situation for European energy suppliers significantly. Today, only integrated, international operating utilities with a certain scale have the critical mass to survive the sector consolidation and remain independent. CEGEDEL, SFG and SOTEG are particularly exposed to these adverse market conditions as the three companies are rather small in size and only serve markets comparatively small in size and volume.
