December 20th, 2023 marks the 24th anniversary of Macao's return to China. According to Chinese customs statistics, the cumulative value of imports and exports between the Chinese mainland and Macao during these 24 years has reached 442.1 billion yuan. To be more specific, the cumulative value passed through Gongbei Customs has reached 356.8 billion yuan, accounting for over 80% of the total value during the same period. It is worth mentioning that, in the first 11 months of 2023, this value has already reached 20.06 billion yuan, accounting for 84.9% of the total value during the same period.

The three main features are as follows:

First, the import and export trade methods are optimized with a significant increase in the proportion of general trade. In the first 11 months of 2023, the Chinese mainland's general trade imported and exported to Macao through Gongbei Customs reached 16.21 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.2%, accounting for 80.8% of the total import and export value, an increase of over 40 percentage points compared to 1999.

Secondly, the private enterprises are more active, becoming the largest trading entity. In the first 11 months of 2023, Chinese mainland private enterprises have imported and exported 8.55 billion yuan to Macao through Gongbei Customs, with the proportion increasing from less than 20% in 1999 to 42.6%.

Third, the structure of exported goods is more diversified, and the export of daily necessities to Macao has grown rapidly. In the first 11 months of 2023, the Chinese mainland's electromechanical products exported to Macao through Gongbei Customs were worth of 7.4 billion yuan, accounting for 37.4% of the total value of exports from the Chinese mainland to Macao through Gongbei Customs (the same below), compared to less than 10% in 1999. Specifically, the exports of power, agricultural products, pharmaceutical materials and drugs, natural gas and other daily necessities were 3.24 billion, 3.17 billion, 490 million, and 370 million yuan, respectively, with growth rates of 12.8%, 33.6%, 58.5%, and 34.2%. The mainland continues to play a significant role in ensuring Macao's daily needs.
