Your Daily Asia Gaming eBrief: Macau not coming back; opportunity lies in ASEAN
Good Morning. Booming South East Asia economies will help curb the industry's reliance on Mainland leisure spending, Bloomberg Intelligence Angela HanLee suggests. Macau’s performance has not been as strong as that of the Philippines, Singapore, and even Cambodia, opening up opportunities for IR projects across ASEAN markets. Macau Government data show a shift in the curve, much too late for this quarter’s earnings.

Macau not coming back; opportunity lies in ASEAN: Angela HanLee, Bloomberg Intelligence
With Macau steadily dropping and not expecting to make a return above 30 percent of pre-pandemic figures before the end of 2023, other IR opportunities are picking up across the ASEAN region, Bloomberg Intelligence Angela HanLee argues. Macau’s performance, though coming from the premium mass, has not been as strong as that of the Philippines, Singapore, and even Cambodia. The outlook opens up opportunities for integrated resort projects likely for operations to kick-start across ASEAN markets.
