With the rapid development of the Greater Bay Area (GBA), the Department of Finance organized a second one-day study tour to Macao in mid-April. This exchange provided students majoring in Finance, Quantitative Finance, and Sustainable and Green Finance with first-hand exposure to Macao’s financial ecosystem, cultural heritage, and industry practices.
The itinerary combined cultural exploration with professional insights. In the morning, the students visited Macao’s iconic landmark: the Ruins of St. Paul’s and discovered the city’s hidden gems. After lunch, they got their adrenaline rush through kart racing and team building at Lisboeta Macau.
A key highlight of the trip was the visit to the Bank of China (Macau), where students explored the bank’s history exhibition and learned from two lectures delivered by the senior bank representatives on prospects of the city’s financial sector and developments in digital currency and digital Macanese Pataca. The visit concludedwith a thematic workshop and student group presentations, fostering dialogue between academia and industry.
Overall, the tour enhanced students’ understanding of regional financial development and career opportunities in Macao and the GBA.
