Macau GDP moderates to 6.1% in Q3

Blame last year’s higher base of comparison.

Macau GDP growth moderates to 6.1% YoY in Q3 mainly due to last year’s higher base of comparison as the company rebounded.

According to OCBC Bank Research, declining levels in private investment and domestic consumption contributed to this quarter’s lacklustre performance.

Additionally, two major typhoons have caused a slowdown in economic activities.

However, Macau’s strong tourism and gaming sectors continue to drive growth as exports of gaming services increased 18.4% YoY and exports of other tourism services rose 9.4% YoY.

The report adds that the country may soon regain some traction with several mega projects to be rolled out in 2018.

This will likely open up job opportunities which can increase household spending.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
