“We again applaud the Macau Government for their proactive leadership during the challenging pandemic crisis,” said GEG chairman Dr Lui Che Woo. “Their focus is not only to ensure the health and safety of the community, but also ensuring that Macau is well-positioned to attract visitors, support economic recovery and maintain the social stability of Macau.
“Due to our conservative financial management, the group’s net cash as of year-end provides us with valuable flexibility in managing our ongoing operations and allows us to continue with our longer-term development plans.”
