Hello

If a spell requires to have a magic saving throw of Dexterity on monster for example, does the monster account also for the Dexterity modifiers he has in his stats?

Regards,

More specifically, when a Monster makes a [stat] Saving Throw, use the Ability Modifier of [stat] OR the number listed under "Saves" in the monster entry, whichever is higher

More to the point, if the monster's stat block has a "saves" section, use those numbers for the specified save. The Save number includes the monster's ability modifier and any related "proficiency" bonus. If the stat block does not have a Saves section, or that section does not include the save you are looking for, then just use the related ability modifier.
