Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region 澳門特別行政區政府 澳门特别行政区政府 Governo Região Administrativa Especial de Macau
The chief executive is responsible for the administration of Macau. The affairs of the government are decided by secretariats, who are appointed by the chief executive and endorsed by the State Council of the Central People's Government in Beijing. The office of chief executive replaced that of governor after 1999 as head of the government in Macau. The chief executive reports to the State Council.
The current chief executive is Ho Iat Seng and Hoi Lai Fong is the chief of the Office of the Chief Executive.[1]
Principal officialsedit
The secretaries are similar to the Hong Kong Government policy bureaux secretaries. However, there are fewer secretaries in Macau, and they are considered part of the civil service instead of officials employed on contracts.[2] The current (fifth) government was inaugurated in December 2019.[3]
The principal officials of the current government are:
Each secretary leads a number of bureaux (Chinese: 局 or 署; Portuguese: direcções or instituto, lit.'directorate or institutes'), which carry out decisions and plans made by the secretaries.
Localisation of key positions was non-existent prior to the handover, all department heads were Portuguese. Chinese civil service heads did not appear until after the establishment of the special administrative region. Currently, many government officials received education in Mainland China, some of them even grew up in China.
Government Information Bureauedit
