| Subject: Casinos beat the banker: Macau leapfrogs Switzerland in wealth chart Wed Jul 09, 2014 12:41 am | |
| Macau, the world's biggest casino hub, has overtaken Switzerland in the wealth stakes, being named the world's fourth richest territory by the World Bank.
A new batch of data released by the World Bank showed the former Portuguese colony's GDP per person grew to $91,376 in 2013, compared to $77,196 in 2012. Only Luxembourg, Norway and Qatar are wealthier, according to the World Bank. Meanwhile, Swiss per capita GDP stayed nearly flat at $80,528 in 2013 compared to $78,929 the year before. That's the good business news from Macau.
