Thus, the country’s population grew, adding a large number of celebrities, business people or athletes, all attracted by the low level of taxes. The cosmetics and clothing industries are today overshadowed as economic importance by the banks and the insurance sector and more and more by tourism. The Principality is ruled for seven centuries, by the same family, Grimaldi, in present currently leading the Prince Rainer the 3rd. The independence was achieved in 1297. Visit Monaco!
