Benefitting from the pull of the gambling industry and the export of service trade, the real growth rate of the economy in the first half of 2013 is 10.5% on the basis of a relatively high growth rate in 2012. It is estimated that growth in the second half of 2013 will slow down and the whole year will have a single-digit growth rate. The Macao economy will continue to grow in 2014, and the development of Hengqin and the signing of the Tenth Supplement to CEPA will provide a new opportunity for the appropriate diversification of the Macao economy in the future. How to cope with inflation and take measures on real estate are still the problems that Macao must confront. <<
