Macau’s gross gaming revenue (GGR) totaled MOP21.89 billion ($2.71 billion) in August, down 1.2 percent year-on-year, according to data released by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).

The August figure represented an 8.1 percent increase from July’s MOP20.260 billion ($2.51 billion), but fell short of Citigroup’s revised projection.

In a late-August research note, Citigroup lowered its forecast from MOP23 billion ($2.85 billion) to MOP22.5 billion ($2.79 billion), which would have represented growth of about 2 percent year-on-year. The bank had expected concerts by i-dle and Louis Koo, as well as FNC Band Kingdom 2026, at Galaxy Arena, The Londoner Arena and The Venetian Arena, respectively, to support the recovery.
