The Statistics and Census Service (DSEC) released the 2017 Analysis Report of Statistical Indicator System for Moderate Economic Diversification of Macao and launched a thematic webpage that provides the latest available data of the indicator system to facilitate timely access to information regarding the economic diversification of Macao.
Since the release of the first Analysis Report of Statistical Indicator System for Moderate Economic Diversification of Macao at the end of 2016, DSEC has been continually improving and enriching the content of the indicator system based on relevant comments from members of the community. The 2017 Analysis Report included new statistical indicators with respect to the emerging industries, such as: (1) data on gross value added of the emerging industries including the MICE sector, financial activities, Chinese medicine sector and cultural industries, as well as the share of the emerging industries in the gross value added of all economic activities of Macao; (2) in addition to statistics on financial leasing business and wealth management business, data on renminbi clearing business are incorporated into the section of featured financial business.
Moreover, DSEC launched a thematic webpage of Statistical Indicator System for Moderate Economic Diversification of Macao, providing the latest statistics on the eight sections of the indicator system in the form of charts and tables, which aims to provide a frame of reference for members of the community to observe the progress of economic diversification of Macao in a timely manner. At present, the webpage contains relevant statistics for 2017; data of previous years will be added later on while further improvements will be made to the webpage.
The thematic webpage is available at www.dsec.gov.mo/Diversification/. DSEC welcomes comments and suggestions from the public for improving the indicator system and the thematic webpage.
