The Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM) held an industry briefing on the Government Guidance Fund established by the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region, setting out its creation, composition and investment remit as a mechanism to guide private capital into priority sectors and support economic diversification. The session brought together more than 200 representatives from government and the financial sector, including stakeholders linked to Macao and the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin. The briefing covered the fund’s policy orientation, operating rules, investment directions and cooperation models, alongside details on governance and oversight such as requirements for fund managers and investment supervision arrangements. Discussion with market participants focused on practical features including the proportion of capital contributions, income distribution mechanisms, arrangements for custodian institutions, licensing of fund management companies, and how the fund could support the conversion of scientific and technological成果 into industrial activity, align with technology-park development and investment-attraction strategies; the working group reiterated that the fund will operate under “government guidance and market-based operation” and a “patient capital” approach, and is intended to support coordinated development between Macao and Hengqin and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
