Economic conditions
Monaco bases its economy on tertiary activities, with an absolute prevalence of financial and credit, from which the main income comes, which are added to those, also very significant, of tourism. One of the largest revenues of the state is made up of the proceeds of the Monte Carlo casino. Industry is also developing considerably (chemicals, mechanics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, food), which the Monegasque authorities tend to strengthen in order to diversify the economy of the microstate.
The territory of the principality is crossed by the Ventimiglia-Nice railway line; the State also has 2 ports (the historic one of Hercule in La Condamine and another built in the 1970s in Fontvieille) and a heliport.
