Licenses for all six of Macau’s casino operators expire at the end of 2022, and experts anticipate their renewal being contingent on operators’ willingness to be incorporated in the e-CNY testing. In April 2021, the Macau government announced plans to conduct a feasibility study for a CBDC and amend laws to regulate the issuance of a virtual legal tender. In 2022, the Executive Council proposed to put digital currency on the same legal ground as regular fiat currency. However, no indication was given on whether it will be e-CNY or “e-Pataca.”
