Macau invests $16B to transform into a business hub beyond gambling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Macau is investing $16 billion over the next five years to diversify its economy beyond gambling and become a business hub. The city aims for non-gaming industries to contribute 60% of its GDP by 2030, drawing inspiration from Las Vegas's transformation. Key to this strategy is the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, which will help attract emerging industries by leveraging Macau's regulatory flexibility and its historical ties to Portugal for European partnerships.
