The English Edition of Macao Yearbook 2015 will be launched on 13 November.
(Macao – 12 November 2015) The English edition of Macao Yearbook 2015, published by the Government Information Bureau (GCS) of the Macao SAR, has been completed and will be launched on 13 November 2015. The Macao Yearbook has been published annually since 2002 in Chinese, Portuguese and English editions. This year the yearbook is divided into four sections: Administrative Priorities of the MSAR Government; Calendar of Events; Review of the MSAR; and Appendices. The English edition of the Macao Yearbook 2015 comprises 609 pages and is enriched by 196 photographs. Meticulous efforts has been made during the translation process of the English edition of the yearbook to ensure that local legislation, international treaties, names of organisations and geographical names are properly and faithfully translated. The Macao Yearbook 2015, together with a complimentary CD-ROM containing the PDF version of the yearbook, can be purchased at the following places at 120 patacas or 120 Hong Kong dollars per copy from 13 November: major local bookstores and Government’s Public Information Centre at Rua do Campo. The yearbook will be available for purchase at the Macao Post Office (Macao Post)’s Philatelic Division, Rua do Campo Branch, Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal Branch, Macau International Airport Branch, and Nova Taipa Branch from 17 November. Taking into account the rising popularity of digital reading and for the sake of the environment, the Chinese, Portuguese and English editions of the Macao Yearbook will no longer be available in print starting from 2016. We will focus on improving the yearbook’s digital edition by adding more pictures and even video contents to meet changing needs.
