Monaco is a small principality in the south of France, which, despite its dwarf size, which is only 2 kilometers squared, and having no physical borders, still has all the pronounced features of statehood.

This country has a constitutional monarchy, and is headed by Prince Albert II, but there is also a parliament. Housing in Monaco is a very expensive pleasure, not even all the rich can afford it.

Principality of Monaco and neighboring states on the map

The Principality of Monaco is one of the smallest and at the same time the richest countries in the world. 37 thousand people live in the country or at least have a residence permit, of which just over 5 thousand have. The indigenous inhabitants are called Monegasques, they make up about 15% of the total population, ethnically they are Italians and French. This country, without exaggeration, can be called the country of the rich, since to live in Monaco, you need to have a bank account with at least 100 thousand euros in the account.

In this mini-state there is no taxation on luxury, citizens do not pay taxes to the state. This makes this country more popular for immigrants with money.

We offer you to watch a video about the lifestyle in Monaco.

The cost of living in Monaco is very high. The country receives most of its income from the production of cars. Also, car competitions are held here annually on special platforms that are installed directly on the water.

It is almost impossible to obtain citizenship in this small principality due to the high cost, it is also difficult.

It can only be obtained by sought-after specialists in various fields. Nevertheless, the average salary in the country is about 5 thousand euros.

This dwarf state even has cities that, due to the size of the country, can be called districts, you can get from one to another in just a few minutes. Monaco is also divided into 3 communes:

• Commune of Monaco;
• Commune of Monte Carlo (capital);
• Commune of La Condamine;
• reclaimed coastal areas, there are 2 of them.

Medicine in Monaco is at the highest level, but the services are very expensive, only first aid can be free. In the past, agriculture was developed in Monaco, but now it does not exist at all due to the complete absence of a territory free from buildings.

Oddly enough, Monaco even has its own army, which has a little over 80 soldiers at court and another 500 policemen.

Real estate prices and products

Monaco is undoubtedly the most expensive country not only in Europe but also in the world. Real estate prices here are simply stunning, the cheapest square meter here can cost from 20 thousand euros, and closer to the elite areas, prices reach 50 or even 70 thousand. Given that, according to sanitary standards, an apartment in Monaco must be at least 125 square meters.

Renting an apartment in Monaco is the choice of the majority. Depending on the area and proximity to the main area of ​​Monte Carlo, the monthly rental price varies from 3 to 5 thousand euros.

For a comfortable life, you need at least 500 thousand euros a year, so the concept of poverty in this principality is understood in a completely different way. Real estate prices in Monaco are very high, as new properties are practically not being built here, due to the lack of space for this. In the future, the authorities of Monaco are planning the construction of an artificial island, but exclusive and very expensive objects will be built on it.

The mild Mediterranean climate, proximity to the sea and the prestige of life in this country make wealthy people want to buy real estate here. But it is very expensive here, even in the most remote parts of Monaco. The most expensive housing in Monaco is located in the Monte Carlo area or close to the sea.

The most budget options, if you can call them that, are apartments from among those that are not on the coast itself.

Much more expensive property is close to the beach or the residence of the ruling prince. Many of them are located in historical buildings, which have the appropriate interior, typical of the past centuries.

Houses and villas can, depending on the footage, cost from 3 to 7 million euros. Such expensive property is located in the so-called golden square. Buying property in this state is very difficult and expensive. Even property that can be purchased in popular parts of France, like the famous Côte d'Azur, can even seem cheap compared to Monaco.

All this leads to the popularization of the rental business in Monaco. Most businessmen, stars and great figures of art and culture who have a residence permit in the principality prefer to rent housing. Even many of them cannot afford the prices in Monaco. In addition, offers for renting out property are very limited offers. Most of the premises are rented out during the summer season.

Average salary and taxes in Monaco

For skilled workers, the salary in Monaco is usually in the range of 7 thousand euros, recruited mainly from among the citizens of France. During the day they come to work in the principality, and in the evening they return to their country, since it is not easy to rent a house or obtain Monaco citizenship even for the closest neighbors, and you can go to work in Monaco without any problems even on foot.

Moving for investors

But, as always, there are pros and cons. On the one hand, living here is very expensive financially. On the other hand, taxes in Monaco are just a godsend for the rich, besides, this country has been leading the list of countries as the safest for many decades.

The investment climate in Monaco is also very favorable, and the risks are reduced to almost zero. The economy of Monaco does not suffer from the crisis in any way, the only thing in which this was expressed was the temporary refusal of the prince and the ruling chamber from the idea of ​​​​building additional territories on the sea.

In the future, this country will retain its attractiveness for investors, as real estate is constantly growing in price, and demand far exceeds supply.

Economics and law

The country's economy depends on investment. This is the lion's share of all the country's income. Also, a small percentage depends on the gambling business, the construction of vehicles. The industry of Monaco exists and is developing well, especially it is associated with motorsport.

The country has no external debts, and the reserve budget is 2 billion euros. At the end of the 1990s, the annual increase in invested funds is about 20%. Also, a significant share for the development of the economy of Monaco brings value added tax.

Of the weaknesses, one can single out the complete lack of natural resources, which makes the principality completely dependent on imports from the EU countries. Most of all with Italy and France.

Despite the fact that the prince actually has absolute power on the territory of Monaco, the constitution operates here, and the second paragraph states that human rights and freedoms are respected, which makes this dwarf state legal.

To attract investment, the economic legal code guarantees a preferential tax system for individuals. Full citizens of Monaco who have a passport of the Principality are completely exempt from paying taxes, but at the same time, at the legislative level, Monegasques are prohibited from visiting casinos.

Labor law in Monaco corresponds to the international and, in particular, the European level. The working week is 39 hours, salaries in Monaco and pensions are a guaranteed right. Strikes are allowed at the constitutional level, with the exception of civil servants. Criminal law is enshrined in the Criminal Code of Monaco.
