Prince Albert II of Monaco Current Events - Part 27: November 2008 - September 2009

It looks like Monaco will be taken off of the OECD "grey list". The article, Monaco to be taken off tax secrecy 'grey list' , indicates that the agreement is to be signed Monday.

Do we know what it means for people who keep their accounts in Monaco? My understanding is that Monaco was famous for its banking secrecy and it made its fortune because of it. No more banking secrecy?

1909, at the request of the Duke of Medinacelli, a close friend of the
King of Spain, Alphonse XIII. After having been meticulously restored
in the Fairlie Restorations ship yard, in England, under the care of
specialist Duncan Walker, Tuiga is now moored at the pontoon of her
new owner, the Monaco Yacht Club.

Excellent photos. I like them very much. Specially for the background, the yacht helps the pic to be nice.
Prince Albert looks charming.

The OECD's Secretary-General said in his interview that a considerable amount of peer pressure will be applied by all those who have subscribed to this accord and are complying with it. Each member country can also enact new or stronger legislation to bring the non-compliant companies to heel.

Each time when I see Prince Albert's smile, I clearly understand he is endowed with a good sense of humour.
It's great, Iceflower, you are an amazing person!
