Monaco is moving closer to a fully digital future, with the Prince’s Government announcing plans to enable online payment for all public services by 2027. This timeline was unveiled during recent National Council debates, where the Principality’s digital transition was a key topic of discussion.

As reported by Monaco-Matin, National Council member Franck Julien acknowledged the significant progress made in the digital domain but emphasised that challenges remain. “The National Council understands that this can take time, cost money, and that there are delays, but users and taxpayers need perspectives,” he said, highlighting the need for clear milestones to reassure citizens.

Frédéric Genta, Monaco’s interministerial delegate for Attractiveness and Digital Transition, responded with a comprehensive roadmap. Genta explained that the ability to offer online payments hinges on completing several major digitalisation projects across various public service departments.

“The Directorate of Labor project was partially launched recently,” Genta noted. “There is one on the digitalisation of tax services, set between 2025 and 2027, another for the Traffic Titles Service ending in 2027, and the Directorate of Economic Development, which we are in the process of framing, also concluding in 2027. We can reasonably think that we will be able to pay for all subjects online in 2027.”
