POLICY ADDRESS 2026: GOVERNMENT MOVES TO REVITALIZE REAL ESTATE AMID MARKET WEAKNESS

On 18th November 2025, the Macau SAR Government released its 2026 Policy Address, emphasizing a strategic focus on administrative reforms to improve governance efficiency and accelerate economic diversification. These priorities reflect the government’s long-term strategy to reduce reliance on gaming revenues and foster sustainable growth across multiple sectors.

In response to a weak real estate market, the government announced measures to stimulate the sector. These include doubling the value threshold for stamp duty waivers from MOP3 million to MOP6 million when buying residential properties offering potential savings of approximately MOP130,000 for buyers who meet the criteria. Furthermore, the Monetary Authority of Macao (AMCM) has proposed an adjustment to the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, raising it from 70% to 80% to facilitate property purchases.
