In 2013, the Macao gaming sector’s FDI reached 27.8 billion MOPs, up 34% year-over-year. The increase is due to the continued construction of several large casino resorts in Kotai, Macau’s answer to the Las Vegas Strip.
For FDI statistical purposes, Macau, mainland China, and Hong Kong are considered independent economies.
In 2013, internal FDI imports across the market totaled 78.9 billion MOPs, up 31% year-over-year. “Game companies’ revenue growth induced record revenues earned by direct investors, reaching 55.6 billion MOPs, up 39% year-over-year,” the Macau Bureau of Statistics said in a news release on Monday.
By the end of last year, inventory of internal FDI bound for Macau had reached MOP189.4 billion, with gaming nearly 61% of the total.
