Economic Services Bureau (DSE) Director Tai Kin Ip said yesterday that last month’s Hato disaster has made Macau’s civil society “fully” realise the “complexity of the reality”, adding that the government would think “deeply” about how to diversify the local economy in order to consolidate the city’s industrial structure.
Tai also said that economic diversification would enhance Macau’s competitiveness and its resilience to uncertainties.
Tai made the remarks in a speech yesterday during “Macau’s Economy Forum 2017” on the campus of the University of Macau (UM). About 20 scholars from Macau and the mainland delivered speeches during the one-day forum, which was organised by the Macau Economics Association.
