Explaining his plans for the development of the gaming industry in the short-term, Ho Iat-seng said, “We will strictly monitor the new concessionaires’ compliance with the commitments made in the contract, including the development of non-gaming projects, increasing non-gaming elements and strengthening the development of the overseas visitor market. We will also ensure the healthy development of the gaming industry in accordance with the law. “We will continue to promote responsible gambling and develop mainly non-gaming activities … in the future, we will strive to achieve a 60% share of GDP from non-gaming activities.” Gaming made up well over 50% of Macau’s GDP pre- pandemic with the industry employing around 20% of its working population. Gaming taxes of MOP$112.7 billion comprised 86% of all government tax revenue in 2019. 澳門行政長官 於11月15日在立法會公佈2023的施政報 告，當中提及明年博彩業發展的計劃。行政長官賀一誠表 示，爭取未來非博彩業佔本地生產總值六成。 賀一誠表示：「將嚴格監督新的承批公司履行批給合 同的承諾，包括發展非博彩項目、增加非博彩元素， 以及 加強開拓國際旅客市場，並確保博彩業依法健康發展。」 「未來將持續推進負責任博彩，並且着力發展非博 彩項目…爭取未來非博彩業佔本地生產總值六成。」 在澳門2021年產業結構中，博彩業佔GDP比例只有 28.3%，工業、酒店業、不動產業、教育等佔比36.2%。 賀一誠曾在8月19日在立法會表示：「博彩業佔GDP比例 不能少於40%。」 另外，在2023年澳門政府將向立法會提出的法律提 案項目中，政府將在明年向立法會提交《打擊不法賭博犯 罪》的修改建議，但施政報告中沒有詳細介紹有關法律修 改的項目。 而且，政府將在明年第一季開始，檢視承批公司對 大額現金交易客人的審查情況；並在第二季開始，檢測承 批公司與博彩中介之間現金交易的匯報情況。
