20年，经济实现跨越式发展。据澳门统计局公布的数字，本地生产总值从回归之初的518.7亿（澳门元）增加到2018年的4249亿元（澳门元）；至2018年底，累计财政盈余达到5088亿元（澳门元），外汇储备为1636亿元（澳门元），较1999年分别增长193倍和6.2倍，大大增强了抵御外部风险的能力。澳门进入历史上发展最好最快的时期，成为全球经济增速最快的地区之一。

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，百姓安居乐业。经济多年持续的发展，带来了澳门的高就业率、低失业率和居民收入水平的不断提高。失业率由1999年的6.4%，降至2018年的1.8%，近年一直维持在这一低水平。

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.
