Macau had MOP36.1 billion (US$4.52 billion) worth of inward direct investment last year, 16 percent more than the year before, the Statistics and Census Service says.

The service attributes the increase to enterprises retaining profits for reinvestment.

The gaming industry got MOP27.8 billion worth of inward direct investment, banking and securities got MOP3.5 billion and wholesaling and retailing got MOP1.3 billion.

Most of the money came from the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.

Outward direct investment by Macau enterprises amounted to MOP6.4 billion last year, resulting in a net inflow of direct investment of MOP29.7 billion.
