A further highlight of financial factors

Vincent U said that after the clear deployment of the key policies for such industrial layouts, the finance-themed MICE events held in Macao have increased significantly, so has the proportion of financial investment projects in Macao. Through the new development pattern of “industry+MICE”, the increasing exhibitions and conferences have boost exchanges in capital and technology, and further promote Macao’s appropriate economic diversification.
New pattern of Macao-Hengqin synergistic development giving new vitality to MICE sector
Moreover, since the Overall Plan for the Construction of Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Co-operation Zone in Hengqin officially released in September 2021, the new pattern of Macao-Hengqin synergistic collaboration – “Macao Platform + International Resources + Hengqin Space + Results Sharing” has been gradually developed, along with the joint commitment of six local integrated resorts to invest over MOP 100 billion within a decade in projects related to leisure, culture, MICE and other fields, we have reasons to believe that Macao will enjoy a number of favorable conditions and factors in the future development.
