BRTC successfully organised a workshop on the development of Macao’s financial industry
on 4th November. The workshop was part of the series of the ”Executive Development
Program” by FBA. Several senior executives from the financial and banking sectors of Macao
and academics were invited to participate in the workshop. The aim of the workshop was to
explore the future development of the financial industry in Macao and during the workshop we
had successfully collected the industry’s views on the future development of Macao’s financial
industry. We believe this highly pragmatic and constructive round table conference will play
an important role in the long-term development of Macao’s financial industry and provide
policy and practical operation suggestions.
