The Strategic Council for Attractiveness: An Essential Partner for Developing Economic Policy

The Strategic Council for Attractiveness (CSA) was established in 2011 by the Prince’s Government. Its mission is to propose tools for analysis and future planning in order to contribute to discussions on the Principality’s economic development, increasing State revenues, controlling public expenditure and strategic directions.

To this end, this body consults with Commissions (“Finance,” “Real Estate,” “Destination Monaco,” “Quality of Life,” etc.), organises ad hoc committees, calls upon experts from the private and public sectors and meets periodically in plenary sessions. Its proposals have led, for example, to the creation of the “Infochantiers” (information on construction sites now known as YourMonaco) and the Monaco Princess Grace Check-Up Unit.

To boost the Principality’s attractiveness, in 2022 Prince Albert II of Monaco appointed a Country Chief Officer for Attractiveness. The role has been entrusted to Frédéric Genta, who now becomes Country Chief Officer for Attractiveness and the Digital Transition, as well as Secretary-General of the Strategic Council for Attractiveness. Frédéric Genta carries out his remit under the direct authority of the Minister of State, Pierre Dartout, who is keen to see optimisation of the State’s policies and resources.
