BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Luxembourg, home to several European Union institutions, has rebuffed calls from some of its partners to reduce the size of its powerful banking sector in response to the crisis in Cyprus.

Luxembourg has a banking sector more than 20 times the size of its economy. The industry has helped make the small country the richest in the bloc in terms of economic output per person.
