Macau's strong GGR during October Golden Week indicates the resilience of Macau's gaming industry amid generally weak China consumption, BofA Securities issued a research report saying. However, the industry is facing uncertainties in the regulatory environment under a new Chief Executive.

BofA Securities raised its 2024 Macau's GGR forecast by 2% to MOP227 billion, up 24% YoY to 78% of the 2019 level, and lifted 2025 GGR forecast by 7% to MOP230 billion, up 2% YoY.
