Historical background
The Genoese built a fortress on the site of present day Monaco in 1215.
The current ruling Grimaldi family first seized temporary control in 1297, and again in 1331, but were not able to permanently secure their holding until 1419.
Economic development was spurred in the late 19th century with a railroad linkup to France and the opening of a casino.

Economic overview
Monaco, bordering France on the Mediterranean coast, is a popular resort, attracting tourists to its casino and pleasant climate.
The principality also is a major banking center and has successfully sought to diversify into services and small, high-value-added, nonpolluting industries.
The state has no income tax and low business taxes and thrives as a tax haven both for individuals who have established residence and for foreign companies that have set up businesses and offices.
