According to Wu Shuo, Macau Secretary for Economy and Finance Lei Weinong said in response to a question from a member of the Legislative Council 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 relevant business developments and international trends, explore the opening of certain types of virtual asset activities under controllable risks, and formulate or revise relevant laws, regulations and regulatory guidelines. Lei Weinong emphasized that the Macau government did not intend to invest hundreds of billions of yuan in the Metaverse, but rather to use the Science and Technology Fund to subsidize technology companies to settle down and create employment opportunities.
