MACAU, China, July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- According to data released by the Macao SAR
Government, the number of tourists visiting Macao in the first quarter of 2024 reached
8.876 million, marking a year-on-year increase of 79.4%. The
average occupancy rate of hotels exceeded 85%. Additionally,
Macao's GDP grew by 25.7% in real
terms, the unemployment rate fell to 2.1%, and the median working
income of the employed population increased by MOP 1,000
year-on-year.
In the fiscal year 2023 government report, the Macao SAR
government introduced the "1+4" strategy for moderate diversified
development to foster four key industries. Over the past year, the
government has pursued over a dozen investment plans in the science
and technology sector, supporting several scientific research
achievements with transformation and application prospects.
In the modern financial industry, Macao has leveraged its "free port" status,
focusing on specialized finance areas such as bonds, wealth
management, green finance, and financial leasing. The bond market
and debt issuance have seen rapid growth. Furthermore, the
establishment of the Hengqin Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Deep
Cooperation Zone has expanded opportunities for Macao's diversified development. The
development plan for the Cooperation Zone includes the construction
of the Macao Brand Industrial Park. As of April 2024, the number of Macao enterprises in the Cooperation Zone
reached 6,208, a year-on-year increase of 12.3%, and a 33.88%
increase since the establishment of the Cooperation Zone. The model
of "Headquartered in Macao and
operating in Hengqin" has emerged as a new development paradigm for
Macao's industries.
Despite its small size, Macao
holds significant potential and opportunities, promising a bright
future.
