Macau Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai will deliver his first policy address on 14 April amid uncertainty around how he will approach governance of the city’s gaming industry.

The Macao SAR Government announced on Monday that Sam would deliver his “Policy Address for the Fiscal Year 2025” to the Legislative Assembly at 3pm on 14 April, with a press conference to be held at 5.30pm at government headquarters on the same day.

This is to be his first policy address since taking office on 20 December last year. Of particular interest will be his approach to the development of the gaming industry, as Sam has emphasized in the past that the industry’s dominant influence on the economy is not conducive to Macau’s development.
