Macao's gross domestic product (GDP) grew 6.7 percent in 2005, according to official statistics issued on Monday.
The figures from the government-run Statistics and Census Service (SCS) showed that the region's GDP amounted to 92.59 billion patacas (11.57 billion U.S. dollars) in 2005, while the per capita GDP stood at 194,458 patacas (24,274 U.S. dollars) in the year.
Macao's GDP has seen an average growth of 12.1 percent between 2000 and 2005, the figures showed.
The SCS dued Macao's stable economic growth to "the robust performance" of the gaming and tourism industries.
