Central Government rolls out further measures to help Macao play its part in the Greater Bay Area

The Central People’s Government has announced 15 policy measures it will take to help Macao contribute to the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, also known as the Greater Bay Area. The Central Government announced the measures on 7 November 2019, a day after a meeting of the Leading Group for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Mr Chui Sai On, the Chief Executive of the Macao SAR, said the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) would make the utmost effort to put the measures into effect. Mr Chui added that the measures would accelerate the progress of the city-cluster initiative and make it more convenient for Macao people to work, study and live in other cities in the Greater Bay Area. He said the measures would spur more frequent exchanges of people, goods and capital in the Greater Bay Area, and support the provision of professional services.

Mr Chui attended the meeting of the Leading Group for the Development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area on 6 November. He said Macao would help develop the Greater Bay Area and foster connections with its partner cities.
