Macau government curbs gaming revenue expectations

Prompted to comment on gaming revenue, Macau Secretary for Economy and Finance, Lei Wai Nong, said the Government was closely monitoring and evaluating the need to amend its budget in the second half of the year.
When the budget for 2022 had been formulated last year, it was expected gaming revenue would be about 130 billion patacas, however revenues from January to May fell short of expectation, the Secretary noted.
Lei Wai Nong reiterated the Government’s ongoing commitment to attract more tourists and foster economic recovery. 
The Secretary suggests the second half of the year to be a golden period for the city’s tourism outlook adding that the government would devote all-out effort to expanding the tourism market and extending their stay in Macao, if the COVID-19 situation became more stable.
