▶About these figures
Each row shows the latest figure available for Macao up to this year, with the year it refers to. Publishers release on different schedules, so the years differ from row to row.
IMF projection: a forecast from the IMF World Economic Outlook, revised at each release, not a measured value.
Change compares a reading with the one before it. Figures measured in percent, such as growth, inflation or a share of GDP, change by percentage points (pp). Amounts and counts, such as GDP or population, change by percent. When either reading is zero or negative, as a current account balance can be, or the figure is a governance score centred on zero, the change is shown in the figure's own unit. When the earlier reading is more than a year older, the year it is measured from is shown. A dash means there is no earlier reading.
