 set25 O Governo acaba de lançar um plano para atrair as maiores marcas internacionais e regionais a abrirem a sua primeira loja em Macau, com apoios até um milhão de patacas. Projeta-se mais emprego e notoriedade na região, sobretudo se houver aposta nas empresas lusófonas, destaca Matthew Liu, membro do Conselho de Desenvolvimento Económico. Lei Cheok Kuan, presidente da Associação Comercial das Zonas Central e Sul, alerta que PME poderão não beneficiar. “As marcas globais instalam-se por estratégia, não por subsídios.

Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo* The 2025 legislative direct elections, however, have demonstrated a slight decline of voters’ support for the pro-establishment camp compared with the situation in 2021. A similar phenomenon of oscillations in voters’ support can be seen in the pro-liberal camp, which gathered around 30 per cent of support from 2001 to 2013, and which shot up to 37 per cent in the hotly contested 2017 direct election. However, the pro-liberal faction suffered a drastic decline of voters’ support to 20 per ...
