Golden Finance reported that Macau Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Weinong responded to questions from local Legislative Council members Gao Tianci and Shi Jialun yesterday, saying that according to the current regulatory policy, all financial institutions in Macau are not allowed to directly or indirectly provide any virtual asset-related financial services. Macau's inter-departmental anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing working group will continue to follow up on related business developments and international trends, explore whether certain types of virtual asset activities can be opened up under controllable risks, and formulate or revise relevant laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. The Macau government is not going to invest hundreds of billions of yuan in the Metaverse, but will use the Science and Technology Fund to subsidize technology companies to settle down and create employment opportunities. At present, the Hengqin government will first set up a guidance fund, and then combine government funding and market funds to assist technology companies.
