Analyst briefing

Macau: High Per-Capita Output, No Governance or Defense Series

Macau, a special administrative region in Asia, carries an economic and energy profile in this bundle but no governance, military spending or personnel data at all.

Economy

Gross domestic product reached $49.47 billion in World Bank WDI figures for 2024, with per-capita output of $72,004.74 the same year against a population of 687,000. Government debt was recorded at 0.0 percent of GDP in IMF WEO figures for 2026, and reserves stood at $29.39 billion per World Bank WDI data for 2024.

Energy

Primary energy consumption totaled 0.0487 exajoules in 2023, per Our World in Data's energy series, with electricity generation of 0.78 terawatt-hours in 2024. Both oil and gas production were recorded at zero terawatt-hours, though that reading carries a 2016 date, well before the other energy figures in this bundle.

Data gaps

No V-Dem governance indicators, no SIPRI military spending figures and no COW personnel or capability data appear in this bundle for Macau. The government debt figure of 0.0 percent of GDP should be read as the IMF WEO's own reported value for 2026, not confirmed independently against other series. The oil and gas production figures are stale, dated 2016 against 2023-2024 dates elsewhere in the bundle.
