Summary

Liechtenstein’s fiscal framework has ensured surpluses, virtually no public debt, and accumulation of large fiscal buffers. Specialized, export-oriented industries and financial services based on private banking and wealth management underpin economic activity and high living standards, supported by a currency treaty and customs unions with Switzerland, membership in the European Economic Area, and sizable cross-border commuting. The authorities have pledged to address data gaps.
