Monaco Economic Board Unveils Ambitious Outlook for 2025
MEB reports significant growth and international initiatives during recent annual meeting.
In a significant display of economic momentum, the Monaco Economic Board (MEB) convened its annual general meeting at the Yacht Club last Wednesday, highlighting an impressive performance for 2024 and an ambitious vision for international engagement in the coming year.
Michel Dotta, president of the MEB, articulated the board’s optimistic outlook, describing Monaco as a refuge for individuals and businesses seeking prosperity, creativity, and tranquility.
He emphasized the importance of Monaco's political stability within a globally uncertain environment.
The MEB reported a nearly 20% growth in membership since 2019, reaching a total of 638 member companies by the end of 2024, which includes 49 companies that opted for the new Premium membership tier.
The review presented by Guillaume Rose, Executive Director, and Justin Highman, Deputy Director, reflected a bustling economic landscape with over 50 operations completed within the Principality and the hosting of seven foreign delegations.
Significant economic missions were successfully conducted in Riyad, Rabat, Casablanca, Warsaw, London, and Shanghai.
The MEB's notable presence at the 'Monaco House' during the Davos Forum underscored the noted entrepreneurial excellence of Monaco.
Looking ahead, 2025 is being positioned for extensive international missions in cities such as Budapest, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, and Nairobi.
A highlight of the strategy will be participation in the World Expo in Osaka, accompanied by a delegation that will also visit Kyoto and Tokyo.
Pierre-André Chiappori, Government Counselor and Minister of Finance and Economy, discussed ongoing projects, including the modernization of corporate laws and the optimization of business creation processes.
He pointed out that, in the face of global economic challenges, Monaco possesses "the budgetary tools to respond in the medium term, and above all, the human capital and the entrepreneurial spirit to act."
The success of the 52nd Member Rendezvous, attended by over 370 decision-makers at the Yacht Club, reinforces the MEB's role as a central hub for entrepreneurial networking within the Principality.
