Monaco has met all aspects of the terms of reference (OECD, 2017[3]) (ToR) for the calendar year 2018 (year in review) and no recommendation is made.

In the prior year report, Monaco did not receive any recommendations.

Monaco does not issue any type of ruling within the scope of the transparency framework. In the event that Monaco puts in place the administrative process to issue rulings within the scope of the transparency framework, Monaco notes that it would implement the transparency framework obligations.

As no exchanges were required to take place, no peer input was received in respect of the exchanges of information on rulings received from Monaco.
