Monaco seeks new powers to control property sales and redevelopment on the Rock
What happened
The Government of Monaco submitted a bill to the National Council on October 8, 2026. The legislation seeks new powers to intervene in property sales, restrict changes of use, and control redevelopment in Monaco-Ville. The government argues that existing laws are insufficient to prevent property speculation and commercial development from threatening the historic neighborhood.
