CE to deliver 2025 Policy Address on 14 April

CE meets Jiangmen officials to deepen industrial cooperation
The Chief Executive, Mr Sam Hou Fai, today said Macao and Jiangmen should seize opportunities arising from development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and leverage respective strengths of the two places in order to enhance synergistic effects and take high-quality development to a new stage. The Chief Executive had a meeting in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, with Secretary of the Jiangmen Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Secretary of the Leading Party Members’ Group of the Standing Committee of the Jiangmen Municipal People's Congress, and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Jiangmen Municipal People’s Congress, Mr Chen Anming; and Mayor of Jiangmen, Mr Wu Xiaohui. Mr Sam has been leading a delegation of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government on a two-day visit covering three mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, namely Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen. The delegation returned to Macao this evening, after visiting Zhuhai in the afternoon on Sunday (27 April), and Zhongshan this morning. At the meeting in Jiangmen, Mr Sam expressed his pleasure to visit Jiangmen. Jiangmen is renowned as a hometown for many members of the overseas Chinese community. The city has a rich history, in a manner similar to Macao, and both have cultural heritage sites. The two places could realise synergies in terms of resources and development, by creating a “multi-destination travel” tourism route with the theme of cultural heritage. Mr Sam took note of Jiangmen’s rich land resources and convenient transportation connections within the Greater Bay Area, and its traditional industries, including textiles and apparel making, food processing, furniture manufacturing, and papermaking, which enjoyed sound prospects. Mr Sam said his visit to Jiangmen helped him see for himself the solid foundations between Macao and Jiangmen in terms of cooperation in food manufacturing. Also, Jiangmen’s cultural tourism projects – themed around being a hometown of overseas Chinese – were a great success and a reference point for Macao. The new-term MSAR Government dedicated full effort to promoting Macao’s appropriate economic diversification, with a focus on the four major industries, and the four new industries highlighted for the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, said Mr Sam. Meanwhile, Jiangmen’s Daguang Bay Economic Zone served as a vital connector between Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao, while capitalising on Jiangmen’s abundant marine resources, which presented distinct advantages for diversified industrial development. Looking ahead, Macao and Jiangmen could leverage the synergies of their complementary industries, jointly to establish a pivotal cooperation platform that will significantly contribute to the Greater Bay Area’s development. Other members of the MSAR Government delegation attending the meeting included: the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Tam Vai Man; the Commissioner-General of the Unitary Police Service, Mr Leong Man Cheong; the Chief-of-Office of the Chief Executive's Office, Ms Chan Kak; the Director of the Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau, Mr Cheong Chok Man; the President of the Board of Directors of the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute, Mr U U Sang; and the President of the Civil Aviation Authority, Mr Pun Wa Kin. Other officials present were: the Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee, Ms Chen Liwen; Deputy Secretary of the CPC Jiangmen Municipal Committee and Secretary of the Leading Party Members’ Group and Chairman of the Jiangmen Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), Mr Zhang Lei; Deputy Secretary of the Leading Party Members’ Group and Deputy Secretary of the Standing Committee of the Jiangmen Municipal People’s Congress, Mr Ling Chuanmao; and Vice Mayor of Jiangmen and Secretary of the CPC Heshan District Committee, Mr Liu Zhigang. Prior to the meeting, the delegation visited a Macao food manufacturing company with investment in Jiangmen, receiving a briefing on the overall operation of the factory and the company’s development. While in Jiangmen, the delegation then visited the China Qiaodu Museum of Overseas Chinese, to understand the arduous yet splendid entrepreneurial history of Wuyi overseas Chinese, and the rich Wuyi overseas Chinese culture.

The Chief Executive, Mr Sam Hou Fai, today said Macao and Zhongshan should build upon their existing solid foundation of cooperation, and continue to work in concert to achieve, through their collaborative efforts, even more fruitful outcomes. The Chief Executive made the remarks at a meeting in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province, with Secretary of the Zhongshan Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Zhongshan Municipal People’s Congress, Mr Guo Wenhai. Mr Sam has been leading a delegation of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government on a two-day visit to three mainland cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, namely Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen.

During this morning’s meeting in Zhongshan, Mr Sam said Macao and Zhongshan enjoyed a long-standing friendly relationship, maintaining close bilateral ties.

He expressed hopes of further deepening exchanges and reciprocal cooperation between the two cities, while encouraging enterprises from both sides to seize opportunities and expand their business. The MSAR Government would steadily progress existing cooperative projects between Macao and Zhongshan, said Mr Sam. By continuing to support Macao enterprises in exploring business opportunities on the mainland, the MSAR Government aimed to enhance effectiveness of collaboration in areas including economic and trade relations, biomedicine, cultural tourism, high-tech industries, and higher education. Mr Sam said this morning’s visit illustrated Zhongshan’s well-developed biopharmaceutical industry. Macao has dedicated increasing effort to promote industry related to traditional Chinese medicine. He suggested both sides could explore establishing a demonstration base for “Macao formulas, Guangdong production” to facilitate integrated development of the healthcare sector within the Greater Bay Area. In addition, Mr Sam noted Zhongshan has built an effective platform for cultivating and retaining high-tech talent, while Macao had State Key Laboratories with a high degree of international openness. The two cities could leverage their respective advantages for mutual benefit. On cultural tourism, Mr Sam stated that the opening of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link strengthened connectivity within the Greater Bay Area. Fresh achievements in regional tourism cooperation are expected as a result of those favourable conditions. Other members of the MSAR Government delegation attending today’s meeting included: the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Tam Vai Man; the Commissioner-General of the Unitary Police Service, Mr Leong Man Cheong; the Chief-of-Office of the Chief Executive's Office, Ms Chan Kak; the Director of the Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau, Mr Cheong Chok Man; the President of the Board of Directors of the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute, Mr U U Sang; and the President of the Civil Aviation Authority, Mr Pun Wa Kin.

The delegation also gained greater insight into the current development of Zhongshan’s biomedical sector and its existing cooperation with Macao. Subsequently, Mr Sam visited the Future Technology Center of the Bay Area, and had a briefing on Zhongshan’s effort – in relation to six aspects – regarding connecting with Shenzhen to promote coordinated regional development within the Greater Bay Area.

CE meets Zhuhai officials to advance cooperation
The Chief Executive, Mr Sam Hou Fai, today called for joint efforts to advance Macao-Zhuhai cooperation and foster Macao-Hengqin integrated development. That is particularly in relation to developing Hengqin into a high-standard open zone with Chinese characteristics, and that complements the strengths of the “One country, two systems” principle. Mr Sam made the remarks in a meeting in Zhuhai with the Secretary of the Zhuhai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Mr Chen Yong, and the Mayor of Zhuhai, Mr Wu Zetong. The Chief Executive this afternoon led a delegation of the Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government on a visit to Zhuhai, as the first leg of his visit to three mainland cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, namely Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Jiangmen. The meeting also discussed effort to strengthen Macao-Zhuhai cooperation and jointly advance the second-phase development of the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. During the meeting, the Chief Executive expressed gratitude to the Zhuhai CPC Municipal Committee and the Zhuhai Government regarding their long-standing support for the development of the MSAR, and for the Cooperation Zone, noting that the Zhuhai authorities have provided substantial support for Macao’s appropriate economic diversification. He hoped Zhuhai would continue supporting the new-term MSAR Government’s initiatives. Mr Sam went on to say that Macao’s active participation in the development of the Greater Bay Area, and deeper integration into national strategies, were key drivers for the city’s appropriate economic diversification and sustainable growth. Given Macao’s proximity to Zhuhai, the MSAR Government highly values practical collaboration between the two cities, added Mr Sam. The delegation’s afternoon visit witnessed Zhuhai’s strengths in high-tech industries. Mr Sam said he looked forward to enhancing Macao-Zhuhai and Macao-Hengqin synergies in this sector. Both cities also have significant potential in developing integrated international cultural-tourism projects and international aviation hubs. Mr Sam urged closer coordination to align development strategies and achieve complementary advantages. Macao has extensive links with Portuguese-speaking countries, making it a platform for trade cooperation between China and those countries, and has global connections spanning four continents. Zhuhai could further leverage Macao’s unique advantages in order to attract foreign investment, and boost the Greater Bay Area’s international competitiveness. Other members of the MSAR Government delegation attending the meeting included: the Secretary for Transport and Public Works, Mr Tam Vai Man; the Commissioner-General of the Unitary Police Service, Mr Leong Man Cheong; the Chief-of-Office of the Chief Executive's Office, Ms Chan Kak; the Director of the Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau, Mr Cheong Chok Man; the President of the Board of Directors of the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute, Mr U U Sang; and the President of the Civil Aviation Authority, Mr Pun Wa Kin.

2025MIECF Facilitates Nearly 450 Matching Sessions and Settlement of Eight Enterprises in Macao
The 2025 Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (2025MIECF) came to a successful conclusion yesterday (29 March) at Cotai Expo, The Venetian Macao after three days of activities. Nearly 450 business matching sessions took place during the event, facilitating the signing of more than 50 project agreements at the Protocol Signing Ceremony. In addition, eight enterprises established an official presence in the Macao market during the exhibition. Three Green Forum sessions were held during the 2025MIECF, which brought together more than 30 experts and scholars from different countries to discuss topics such as green transition, technological innovation, and environmental co-operation in the Pan-Pearl River Delta (Pan-PRD) region. A Hong Kong-based technology enterprise, attending its first Macao exhibition, had a successful discussion with Macao professional organisations and local and overseas traders, affirming and recognising the functions of MIECF and Macao as a commercial and trade platform. Similarly, a Spanish supplier of organic agricultural products, who also participated in MIECF for the first time, signed letters of intent with large wholesalers, hotels and different entities. They were satisfied with the results achieved at the exhibition and planned to set up a branch in Macao to expand their business. A Brazilian exhibitor compared MIECF with other international MICE events they had attended and commented that Macao’s excellent MICE facilities and attentive arrangements enabled them to get a timely response to their needs for seeking partnership, and that the various concurrent events, especially the business matching sessions, provided them with unlimited business opportunities. The 2025MIECF took “Innovation and Green Development – Solutions to Build Beautiful Cities” as its theme in line with the country’s “dual carbon” goals and the Macao SAR Government’s key environmental policies. Hosted by the Macao SAR Government, co-organised by the governments of the Pan-PRD region and co-ordinated by the Commerce and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) and the Environmental Protection Bureau, the 2025MIECF received support from the National Development and Reform Commission of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the People’s Republic of China, and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People’s Republic of China. Over 50 project agreements were signed and 450 business matching sessions were arranged to tap into green business opportunities This year’s event featured five exhibition zones and attracted nearly 400 domestic and international enterprises, including over 60 international exhibitors. Close to 450 business matching sessions took place during the exhibition, facilitating the signing of more than 50 project agreements at the Protocol Signing Ceremony. In addition, eight enterprises established an official presence in the Macao market during the exhibition. Furthermore, four “multi-venue” events were held during the event, with approximately 130 participants visiting the Co-operation Zone in Hengqin and Zhuhai for business inspections. Among them were the delegation of Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs) to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the delegation of ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, professional buyers, and representatives from the Global Carbon Credit Market Development Forum, all contributing to the expanding appeal of this international platform for green business opportunities. Exhibitors were satisfied with the results and planned to set up branches in Macao This year’s event marked a significant step forward in its international participation and branding efforts, with a higher level of engagement from international exhibitors over last year. In particular, more than 40 listed enterprises displayed their exhibits, representing a steady increase year on year. At the same time, the “ESG Awards for Excellence” attracted participation from over 30 branded enterprises, making concerted efforts to promote sustainable development through the exhibition. A number of first-time exhibitors at MIECF spoke highly of the event. A Hong Kong-based technology enterprise had successful discussion with Macao professional organisations and local and overseas traders. They expressed satisfaction with the results and experience of their first-time participation in a Macao exhibition, and fully acknowledged the functions of Macao as a commercial and trade platform. A Spanish supplier of organic agricultural products signed letters of intent with large wholesalers, hotels and different entities. They were delighted with the results achieved at the exhibition and told IPIM that they planned to set up a branch in Macao to expand their business through the Macao platform. Traders were satisfied with the overall arrangement of this year’s MIECF, heaping praise on its reasonable organisation and effective outcomes. According to a PSC exhibitor, the event helped them identify potential partners and expand their market prospects. One Malaysian trader highlighted the increased international business links fostered through MIECF. MIECF promoted the adoption of electric vehicles One Macao automotive exhibitor who secured procurement orders of eco-friendly vehicles after communication with the public sector during their inaugural participation last year came back to the exhibition this time with a new line of electric passenger and cargo vehicles. This year, they aimed to leverage MIECF as a gateway to connect with organisations and enterprises interested in purchasing eco-friendly vehicles, seeking to uncover more business opportunities. The Macao SAR Government has rolled out a series of measures to promote eco-friendly vehicles so far, including the exemption of the Motor Vehicles Tax on vehicles using alternative fuels instead of petroleum since 2002. This was followed by the “Plan for granting financial support for the scrapping of obsolete motorcycles and their replacement by new electric motorcycles” and the “Plan for granting financial support for the scrapping of old diesel-powered vehicles” launched in two phases in 2022 and 2023, which incentivised vehicle owners to replace older, more polluting models. Moreover, the SAR Government has taken the lead in promoting the adoption of electric vehicles, and the public sector is required to choose electric vehicles when purchasing or replacing their fleets. The debut economy fuelled innovative green development to amplify MIECF’s impact as a green platform The roadshows for nine key debut projects were staged during the event, showcasing cutting-edge technologies such as new biodegradable materials, liquid-cooled ultra-fast charging technology, self-driving electric yachts, and smart energy management to stimulate the debut economy and strengthen MIECF’s role as a green debut platform. The project roadshows and business matching sessions provided an effective platform for enterprises to promote their innovative green projects and expand business connections, bringing the exhibition’s impact to the next level. One trader from a PSC noted that participation in MIECF not only raised their enterprise’s international visibility but also resulted in tangible business collaborations. An exhibitor from Mainland China also secured agreements during MIECF, expressing satisfaction at finding important partners through the event. The Green Forum gathered over 30 experts and scholars to discuss future green development Gino Van Begin, Secretary General of ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability, was invited to be the keynote speaker for the event, who put a premium on the critical role that cities must play in addressing climate change during his address entitled “Innovation Green Development and Building a Beautiful City”. The three Green Forum sessions at the 2025MIECF gathered more than 30 experts and scholars from different countries and regions to discuss and share their insights into green transition, technological innovation, and environmental co-operation in the Pan-PRD region. Concurrent activities were arranged to extend benefits to the community To broaden the exhibition’s impact, community tours were arranged during the event and attracted 77 traders and attendees. Traders from South America cited these tours as an effective avenue for them to gain better insights into Macao’s cultural and business landscape. A wide range of green activities were held to promote a green, low-carbon lifestyle The final day of the exhibition (29 March) was designated as “Green Public Day”, which attracted numerous residents to participate in various fun and educational environmental activities. At the same time, technical visits to the Macao Electronic and Electrical Equipment Recycling Treatment Facility and the Cotai Ecological Zones were also arranged for attendees to reinforce exchanges on environmental technologies. The assortment of green activities held during MIECF offered participants access to the latest environmental information and technologies, which raised their environmental awareness and encouraged them to go green in their everyday lives while marching towards low-carbon goals.

CE vows to improve people’s livelihoods and create quality living conditions
The current-term Macao Special Administrative Region (MSAR) Government is adopting a multi-pronged approach to alleviate people’s hardships and improve livelihoods, creating quality living conditions. This is according to the Chief Executive, Mr Sam Hou Fai, who made the pledge this afternoon at the Legislative Assembly, during a question-and-answer session relating to the Policy Address for the Fiscal Year 2025. Mr Sam answered legislators’ questions on social issues ranging from a declining birth rate to care of the elderly, targeted assistance to disadvantaged groups, investment in educational resources, protection of employment for local residents, and youth policies. The Government attaches great importance to policies relating to the elderly and to the young, noted Mr Sam. The Chief Executive added that the Government had always been concerned about the impact of ageing within the population, in relation to Macao's sustainable development. The Government will improve the efficiency of services for the elderly and effectively respond to related needs, through the provision of diversified services, he said. The budget on regular subsidies for services for the elderly stood at 560 million patacas in 2024, accounting for approximately 33 percent of the budget spent on regular subsidies for social services in Macao. Relevant departments are currently carrying out planning and preparation work for the next phase of the 10-Year Action Plan for Services for the Elderly, focusing on “Big Health”, smart technology, and an elderly-friendly and inclusive environment, according to the Chief Executive. The Government will also launch or increase training courses on care for the elderly via various higher education institutions, to meet the rising demand for such care, brought about by an ageing population, he added. Mr Sam revealed that the Government will strive to complete the assessment work related to the proposal for a dedicated consumer price index for the elderly. The Government will also review indicator parameters for any adjustment mechanism regarding increases to subsidies for the elderly; it will also explore related issues such as linking the pension baseline with the index for minimum standard of living for the elderly. Regarding the issue of a low birth rate in Macao, Mr. Sam pointed out that the Government will launch a childcare subsidy scheme to encourage parenthood, providing a subsidy of 1,500 patacas per month, i.e., a total of 18,000 patacas per year, to cover children under the age of three born to Macao permanent residents. It is estimated that more than 15,100 children will be covered by the scheme in 2025, via a budget of approximately 270 million patacas. The 2025 Policy Address also mentions raising the birth allowance to 6,500 patacas, an increase of nearly 20 percent. Meanwhile, a subsidy scheme on medically-assisted reproductive services has been launched. The Government has also improved childcare services, providing more than 240 million patacas in yearly-recurrent funding for subsidised childcare institutions, providing an average of approximately 34,000 patacas per childcare place. Support for disadvantaged families includes provision of 900 free daycare places plus fee reductions, and priority admission to daycare services. Regarding maternal and child health services and support for working families, the Government will study the feasibility of increasing maternity leave and annual leave. It plans to entrust an independent third-party organisation to conduct research on the issue, in order to build social consensus on the matter. The Government will also make full use of public housing resources to provide support to families with children, the Chief Executive said. Mr Sam stressed that the Government will provide support and care to families in need, and provide encouragement – via a series of polices and services – for young adults to have children. The Government will also continue to care for vulnerable groups and ensure that they are taken care of in their old age, he added. In terms of improving the healthcare system, the Government will work with non-profit medical institutions to increase the number of subsidised treatment sessions that can be offered to the public. The Government will increase the number of subsidised community outpatient clinic sessions to approximately 180,000, and the number of psychological treatment quotas to 10,000. The Government will also strengthen tripartite collaboration between public, non-profit and private healthcare institutions, to refer chronic disease patients from health centres to community clinics at non-profit healthcare institutions. In terms of education, the Government will continue to increase investment in education resources: the combined budgets of the Education and Youth Development Bureau and the Education Fund will be increased to a total of approximately 9.6 billion patacas in 2025. The Government will continue to implement the policy of “developing Macao through education and building Macao through talents”. It will give priority to the development of free education, regulate the number of places and classes in each school, support financial measures for schools with disadvantaged pupils, and enhance the stability and adaptability of the education system. Mr Sam said that in order to develop new quality productive forces, the Government will put education, technology and talent training together for policymaking purposes. In this regard, the Government will promote the development of smart education through "smart campuses", "smart teaching" and "artificial intelligence education". It will strengthen teacher training, and in turn popularise science and technology training for students. Regarding job security, the Chief Executive pointed out that structural unemployment and job prospects of young graduates are issues of concern. The Government will continue to introduce various employment support measures and services to assist residents in finding employment through multiple channels. The Government will also study the establishment of a comprehensive vocational training platform to respond to industry adjustments and allocate relevant resources in a targeted manner. He stressed that the Government will ensure that local residents are given priority in employment, and that the importation of non-resident workers is only to address the shortage of local manpower. The 2025 Policy Address mentions that welfare policies need comprehensively to take into account multiple factors such as economic and social development, as well as fiscal revenues, and balance the relationship between short-term expenditures and sustainable development. Mr Sam pointed out that the fixed expenses of the Government are large. However, gaming revenues in the first quarter did not meet the expected average monthly target stated in the 2025 Fiscal Budget. If subsequent gaming revenues still do not meet the target, the Government will face a budget deficit. As 80 percent of the Government’s tax revenues come from the gaming industry, the Government must respond prudently to various risks and challenges, and make good use of Macao’s unique advantages in order actively to promote appropriate economic diversification, stated the Chief Executive.

These are by means of: adopting strategies to “Go North, Down South, Move West, Navigate East”, strengthening connection with the mainland and the rest of the world; coordinate the building of a single free trade zone between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao; seek support to set up a “state university information and communication technology transfer centre”; and strengthen the infrastructure connectivity of the Greater Bay Area, and improve “Northbound travel for Macao vehicles”. This area of work also involves: maximising Macao’s “precise liaison” role between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, and enriching the functions of the Sino-Lusophone platform; bolstering cooperation with Europe, as well as with Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries outside Europe, deepening international exchanges and cooperation; maximising exchanges and cooperation with the Chinese mainland; and fortifying the construction of Macao’s “One Base” function, and branding Macao as an important gateway of cultural exchanges and mutual learning between East and West. 5. Leveraging advantages, increasing impetus, pursuing long-term development, and initiating major construction projects. This will be by: building a Macao-Hengqin international education (university) town; creating international integrated tourism and cultural districts in Macao; building Macao as an international air transport hub (port) on the west bank of the Pearl River; and building a technology research industrial park in Macao. Mr Sam stated during his Policy Address speech that the current-term Government will be guided by the "four points" proposed by President Xi Jinping in his important speeches, closely focusing on the positioning of “One Centre, One Platform, One Base” and adopting the “1+4” appropriate economic diversification strategy, as well as showing greater effort in achieving moderate economic diversification. Macao will integrate into, and serve, overall national development with a more proactive attitude, strive to build a higher-level platform for opening up to the outside world, and demonstrate greater achievements on the international stage. With the integration of Macao and Hengqin as the goal, the MSAR Government will step up efforts to accelerate the construction of the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. By vigorously promoting innovation in the legal system, the Government will give full play to the overall coordination role of the leading group for promoting the construction of the Cooperation Zone; study and formulate important policies, laws and regulations to support the construction of the Cooperation Zone; and promote the connection of civil and commercial legal rules in the Cooperation Zone in the context of Macao and international standards. Giving full play to Macao's leading role, and adjusting and optimising the functions and division of labour of the Administrative Committee of the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, the Government will appoint a greater number of outstanding civil servants from Macao to work on the Committee and other working bodies of the Cooperation Zone, and actively promote the implementation of a pilot scheme for the appointment of non-permanent judges for setting up a collective court in Hengqin. The MSAR Government will increase efforts to attract investments; deepen connectivity between Macao and Hengqin; promote the movement of "single-plate vehicles" entering the mainland via Hengqin Port; expand Government affairs and people's livelihood services available in Hengqin; and create an administrative environment in the Cooperation Zone that converges with Macao. Mr Sam pointed out that strengthening overall coordination mechanisms is an important measure for the current-term Government to deepen administrative reform and enhance governance capabilities. The Government has already established six working groups. In the future, in response to the needs of advancing and developing governance work, the Government will establish more cross-field and cross-departmental coordination mechanisms. This is in order to break down departmental barriers. promote efficient collaboration and overall linkage across departments, and improve efficiency, to ensure the smooth implementation of various reform measures and governance work. Combining rule of law with responsibility and action can improve public governance capabilities and governance effectiveness. The Government will solve the deep-rooted conflicts and problems in economic and social development, effectively maintain social harmony and stability, continuously enhance citizens' sense of participation, achievement, and happiness, and continuously work to realise citizens' yearning for a better life.

Policy Address for the Fiscal Year 2025 – Optimising welfare measures to improve people’s livelihoods
The Policy Address for the Fiscal Year 2025 proposes that, taking into account Macao’s social and economic development situation, and adhering to the principle of prudent financial management, a number of tax incentives and social welfare measures will either be continued, updated or added this year. Such measures include: optimising the Wealth Partaking Scheme; increasing pensions, the old-age allowance, the ordinary and special disability gratuity, the marriage allowance, the birth allowance, and the healthcare vouchers; and a newly-added childcare allowance. After listening to opinions from all sectors of society, the Government has optimised the Wealth Partaking Scheme in a timely manner. Any savings will be used to improve people's livelihoods, and to promote community economic development. Each eligible permanent resident will receive 10,000 patacas, and each non-permanent resident will receive 6,000 patacas. For disadvantaged families, the Government will continue to disburse the equivalent of 13 months of financial assistance per year. The amount of ordinary disability gratuity is increased to 10,000 patacas per year, and the amount of special disability gratuity is increased to 20,000 patacas per year. Disability pensions will be raised to 3,900 patacas per month, and unemployment allowance and sickness allowance will also be raised. The Government will continue to: disburse carer’s allowance; subsidise people with disabilities for purchase of assistive equipment and special household devices; implement a "priority admission system for children from disadvantaged families"; subsidise electricity and water bills; and provide bus fare concessions. The pension and the old-age allowance will be raised, with pensions rising to 3,900 patacas per month, and the old-age allowance going up to 10,000 patacas per year. The Government will continue to inject a start-up fund of 10,000 patacas for eligible residents for new non-mandatory individual accounts under the Central Provident Fund. An additional 7,000 patacas from the budget surplus will be injected to the existing accounts of eligible residents. To improve measures to support parenthood and actively address the problem of declining birth rates, the Government will establish a childcare allowance of 1,500 patacas per month, or a total of 18,000 patacas per year, to Macao permanent residents, for their infants and young children under the age of three. The birth allowance will be adjusted to 6,500 patacas, to strengthen the financial support for families with newborns and to encourage parenthood. The marriage allowance is increased to 2,220 patacas. A limited subsidy programme for residents was already launched to provide free-of-charge medically-assisted reproductive services. To improve rehabilitation services and meet the demand for early treatment and institutional services, an early treatment facility will be set up in the Northern District, providing an additional 44 service quotas. One comprehensive rehabilitation service centre will be set up at Eastern District-2, providing 100 rehabilitation-service quotas. One daycare centre for the elderly will be established at New Urban Zone Area A, offering an additional 40 elderly day care-service quotas. To improve community medical services, the Eastern District-2 Health Station is expected to start providing services in the second half of 2025. The value of healthcare vouchers will be increased to 700 patacas per recipient. The Government will provide tuition-fee subsidies to students from families with financial difficulties, and continue to disburse various subsidies to eligible students and teaching staff. The number of internship positions for Macao tertiary students at designated enterprises in mainland China will increase to 520. After completion of an internship, each student will be offered a subsidy of 5,000 patacas. The personal income tax deduction and tax rebate measures for employees will be continued, and new measures will be launched to support young people to seek employment in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). College graduates aged 35 or below who take up occupations either in any of the nine GBA cities that are located on the mainland, or in the Guangdong-Macao Intensive Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, will be offered a monthly subsidy of 5,000 patacas during their employment period, for a maximum of 18 months. For business owners and similar entities, the Government will continue to implement a number of tax exemptions and tax-deduction measures. The newly-launched “SME bank loan interest subsidy scheme” offers a maximum annual loan-interest subsidy of 4 percent, with a maximum subsidy period of three years, for each eligible business or enterprise owner. The maximum loan amount for each beneficiary is 5 million patacas. The Policy Address points out that improving people's livelihoods is of major importance. The current-term Government will continue to put the interests of citizens first, taking to heart citizens’ traditional necessities “firewood, rice, oil, salt”. It will work hard to solve the real-life problems of most concern and greatest urgency to the majority of citizens, and continuously work to realise citizens' yearning for a better life. The Policy Address emphasises that welfare policies need comprehensively to consider multiple factors, such as economic and social development, and fiscal revenue; and balance the relationship between short-term expenditure and sustainable development. To improve people's livelihoods, the Government must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, do its best, and act within Macao’s means, establishing the level of people's livelihoods and welfare at a sustainable level. It should be noted that Macao’s current economic prospects are facing uncertainties: its fiscal revenue sources are based on a single primary structure, and its fixed fiscal expenditures are relatively large. Therefore, the Macao Government must make good use of financial resources, and implement the policy of targeted assistance, policy tilt, and resource transfer, on the principle of living within its means. On this basis, it should provide targeted assistance to the elderly, children, the disabled, and vulnerable groups, to ensure a bottom line for people's livelihoods, and to promote social equity.

Gaming operators reminded of their duty for neutrality and impartiality regarding Legislative Assembly Election
Concessionaires for operating casino games of chance are required by law to remain neutral and impartial with regard to the Legislative Assembly Election. Employees of those companies also have that responsibility while executing their work duties. The Electoral Affairs Commission for the Legislative Assembly Election and the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau jointly held a meeting today with representatives of the concessionaires for operating casino games of chance, and of local associations for gaming promoters. During the meeting, the Chairman of the Electoral Affairs Commission, Mr Seng Ioi Man, explained to the attendees the provisions in the Legislative Assembly Election Law and the Electoral Affairs Commission’s guidelines concerning the obligation of neutrality and impartiality. According to Article 72 of the Legislative Assembly Election Law, and in common with public entities, the managing bodies of concessionaires for the operation of casino games of chance – and managing bodies of enterprises, as well as sole traders, associated by contract with commercial operations of games of chance by such a concessionaire – must not directly or indirectly participate in election campaigns. Also, they must not perform any act that results either in any benefit or any harm to a particular candidate list, thereby causing either harm or benefit to other candidate lists. Employees of the relevant companies must strictly maintain neutrality during the execution of their duties, and are prohibited from posting or displaying any election campaign-related signs, stickers, or other items at the workplace, and from using working hours and workplace space to engage in propaganda or canvassing during the execution of their duties. It should be noted that the definition of workplace also includes staff canteens and rest areas; employees’ breaks and meal times during working hours are also considered as part of the execution of duties, added Mr Seng. The Electoral Affairs Commission stressed that companies operating casino games of chance must do the necessary work at management level to convey clearly to all employees the explicit message that they must strictly maintain neutrality and impartiality when executing their duties. They should also continuously remind employees to fulfil their obligations to avoid violating the law. Under this premise, if any employee still violates the rules, it is deemed to be their personal act and their personal responsibility. If a company discovers any violation, it should at the earliest opportunity notify either the Electoral Affairs Commission or the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, to enable them promptly to handle the situation. Speaking in the meeting, representatives of the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau pledged the bureau’s full support for the Electoral Affairs Commission’s work. They said the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau would immediately refer to the Electoral Affairs Commission – once discovered or reported – any suspected violations by gaming concessionaires or employees. If any company has any doubts about details regarding the fulfilment of the obligation of neutrality, it can also relay them, via the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, to the Electoral Affairs Commission. Meeting attendees all stated their organisations will fully comply with the requirements outlined by the Electoral Affairs Commission, remain neutral and impartial with regards to the Legislative Assembly Election, and will continuously remind all employees strictly to abide by the relevant regulations, and will also strengthen supervision in this regard. In addition, the Electoral Affairs Commission issued a reminder to representatives of gaming concessionaires that management of all departments and related enterprises have the responsibility to allow employees to exercise their right to vote on election day. If a company provides transportation for employees to go to vote, as long as it does not involve election propaganda, it does not violate the law. However, if the company gives voting instructions to employees, displays election campaign items, or broadcasts campaign slogans during the ride, it would be in violation of the Legislative Assembly Election Law and that would constitute a crime, said Mr Seng.
