Economy
Its economy has surged ahead thanks to gambling, its GDP topping 10% in 2006. Gaming receipts now outstrip even those of Las Vegas, and a massive casino resort construction boom has been under way since 2003, with large Las Vegas operators investing heavily. The associated tourism has become a major income source, with gross gambling revenues of US$10.34 billion in 2007.
The Sino-Portuguese agreement, under which Macau reverted to Chinese rule in December 1999, guarantees the continuation of Macau's economic autonomy for 50 years.
