PARIS — Don’t look at us!

That was the message Wednesday from Luxembourg, which has come under increasing scrutiny as the debacle unfolding in Cyprus leads investors to wonder if other euro zone nations with outsize financial sectors might be vulnerable to banking troubles.

The Luxembourg government said it was “concerned about recent statements and declarations that were made since the crisis in Cyprus” in which comparisons were made to “the business model of international financial sectors in the euro area.”

The tough terms of the Cyprus bailout were necessary to get that island nation back on its feet, the Luxembourg statement said, but it insisted that one provision — that the Cypriot financial sector was found to have been “structurally unbalanced” and that by 2018 its size needed to be brought down to the European Union average of around four times gross domestic product — “is considered to be an exceptional measure.”

Luxembourg was put on the spot by Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch leader of the Eurogroup of euro zone finance ministers, who said Monday that the €10 billion, or $13 billion, Cyprus bailout sent a message that countries like Luxembourg and Malta should “deal with it before you get in trouble,” Reuters reported.
