The Macau economy “resumed positive growth” in the three months to June 30, “on account of a relatively low base of comparison in the same quarter last year, when local economic activities were limited due to the entry restrictions for visitors amid the [Covid-19] pandemic,” said a Friday press release from the city’s Statistics and Census Service.
With the pandemic “remaining under control” locally, the city’s government noted that a pickup in external demand in the second quarter contributed to GDP growth.
Domestic demand grew year-on-year, rising by 3.7 percent. Imports of goods rose by 173.5 percent, while imports of services rose by 54.2 percent.
