The recent history of Luxembourg (1984—present) began with the 1984 election, which saw Jacques Santer take office as prime minister. Major economic and social changes took place during this time. The steel industry, still significant at the beginning of the period, continued its decline from the 1970s and steadily lost importance in the wider economy.
