Macau is an autonomous region of China and the city of Macau. Despite direct subordination to China, this territory owns its own currency, legislation and government bodies like an independent country. GDP growth, a high standard of living and a loyal attitude of Macao legislation towards non-residents attracts foreign companies to engage in commercial activities in the country.
