Sam Hou Fai, the sole candidate for chief executive of the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR), recently shared his plans to foster the gaming sector and diversify the economy.
The candidate emphasised the importance of a regulated and responsible approach to gaming, stating: “We will strictly enforce the new gaming law and improve the related complementary legal regulations.”
As during the candidate’s official candidacy announcement, the new policy presentation contained few direct references to the gaming sector, with a larger emphasis on economic diversification.
Previously, Sam reiterated that the development of the gaming sector in Macau has made the city’s economy “unbalanced,” with economic diversification away from the industry being an imperative from Chinese central authorities.
