Title: Macau SAR at 25 and Beyond: Taking the Pulse of the City’s Economy
Intro: The Macau SAR stands at a pivotal moment as it marks its 25th anniversary and prepares to welcome the sixth-term government on December 20. Over the past year, post-pandemic recovery has gained momentum, with gaming and tourism rebounding strongly. Yet, the recovery remains uneven, as SMEs struggle to keep pace with rapid changes driven by regional mobility and integration. In this instalment of the MBtv/FRC Debates Series, a distinguished panel of the SAR’s leading international chamber of commerce heads joins us to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping the city’s economic future, as the push for diversification and Greater Bay Area integration takes centre stage.
General issues to be addressed:
- An overview of Macau’s development over the past quarter century
- The role and impact of the chambers of commerce
- Key suggestions and priorities for the incoming SAR administration
- Maximising the potential of ‘tourism+’
- Achieving effective and ‘appropriate’ diversification
- Joint development of Hengqin and integration with the Greater Bay Area
- Strategies for attracting talent
- Enhancing Macau’s attractiveness for foreign direct investment (FDI)
