The Junior Economic Chamber of Monaco (JCE) held its third breakfast conference of the year on Thursday morning at the Méridien Beach Plaza…

The event brought together more than 120 participants to discuss the latest developments in the Principality’s economy and finance. The guest speaker was Pierre-André Chiappori, Monaco’s Minister of Finance and Economy, who outlined three key priorities shaping the country’s financial direction.

First, he reaffirmed that the Monegasque economy remains in robust health, with continued growth and a budget in surplus, demonstrating the Principality’s financial stability. Second, he emphasized the importance of maintaining rigorous efforts in the final stages of the FATF grey-list process. While Monaco’s current trajectory is positive, sustained focus is essential to ensure compliance and to safeguard its international financial reputation. Finally, Chiappori urged stakeholders to look beyond the FATF evaluation and prepare for the long-term. He highlighted the need for diversification, openness to new opportunities, and the pursuit of innovative revenue streams to keep Monaco’s economy dynamic and resilient.

The breakfast conference formed part of a series of high-level discussions organized annually by the JCE, which also runs initiatives such as the Business Creation Competition and the JCE Trophies. The next conference will take place on October 21, with a panel exploring Monaco’s attractiveness and the integration of new residents. Speakers will include Ludmilla Raconnat-Leroy, Delegate for Attractiveness, Chloé Boscagli, Director of Monaco Private Label, and Eric Arella, Director of Public Safety.

Once again, the JCE has proven its role as a vital forum for dialogue on the Principality’s economic future.
