20年,，經(jīng)濟實現(xiàn)跨越式發(fā)展。據(jù)澳門統(tǒng)計局公布的數(shù)字,，本地生產(chǎn)總值從回歸之初的518.7億（澳門元）增加到2018年的4249億元（澳門元）；至2018年底,，累計財政盈余達到5088億元（澳門元）,，外匯儲備為1636億元（澳門元），較1999年分別增長193倍和6.2倍,，大大增強了抵御外部風(fēng)險的能力,。澳門進入歷史上發(fā)展最好最快的時期，成為全球經(jīng)濟增速最快的地區(qū)之一,。

Macao has made great strides in economic development. According to the figures released by the Macao Bureau of statistics, its gross domestic product increased from MOP51.87 billion in 1999 to MOP424.9 billion in 2018; by the end of 2018, the accumulated fiscal surplus reached MOP508.8 billion, 193 times higher than that in 1999, and the foreign exchange reserve was MOP163.6 billion, 6.2 times higher than that in 1999. This has greatly enhanced Macao’s ability to resist external risks. Macao has now entered a phase of speedy growth, becoming one of the fastest growing regions in the world.

20年,，百姓安居樂業(yè)。經(jīng)濟多年持續(xù)的發(fā)展,，帶來了澳門的高就業(yè)率,、低失業(yè)率和居民收入水平的不斷提高。失業(yè)率由1999年的6.4%,，降至2018年的1.8%,，近年一直維持在這一低水平。

Over the past 20 years, local residents have lived and worked in peace and contentment. The continuous economic development over the years has led to a high employment rate and a spike in income. The unemployment rate dropped from 6.4% in 1999 to 1.8% in 2018 and has since remained at this level.
