Where we are
Monaco is renowned as a stable, progressive and independent country, member of the United Nations, the Council of Europe and many other international organizations, as an industrious and secure environment, where people can enjoy quality in life and business can prosper and strive for excellence.
The Principality has consolidated active diplomatic relationships and channels with countries across the world, in line with its spirit of openness and international cooperation and collaboration. The hereditary constitutional monarchy is naturally conducive to consistent execution of strategic plans and development policies over time.
With its high concentration of experts and talents, Monaco is striving to become a leading Private Equity centre – contributing to local and global economic growth, sustained innovation, and creation of wealth. The business environment is reinforced by an international, high-quality educational system, providing each year the talents to provide more and improved services.
Favorably located at the heart of the Mediterranean basin, Monaco is connected through the Airport of Nice to all European main destinations, most of them accessible in around two hours.
Teams of experienced and expert professionals manage a bleeding-edge telecommunication infrastructure connecting Monaco to the world with an information highway. Together with the many creative marketing and corporate communications companies around, technical teams can offer unsurpassed solution for all print and web publishing needs, complying always with highest standards of reliability, security, privacy.
The consistent enforcement of financial regulations, regulating the international flow of capital, has not prevented the Government of Monaco to invest considerable effort in developing a very progressive financial system, prized by the likes of the International Monetary Fund and the Financial Action Task force.
This efficient legal framework is complemented by an associated regulatory system to guarantee the best practice in all financial activities. It is now evolving to consider the increasingly important role that Private Equity funds are playing in today’s economy.
