The Heritage Foundation has released the 2010 Report on the Index of Economic Freedom. The Foundation’s 2010 Report says that Macau, as a free port, has long been benefitting from global trade and investment. The overall entrepreneurial environment incorporates high efficiency and low-tax, while property rights are well respected. Foreign investors can conduct business on the same terms as locals. Sound regulatory regime assures free flows of financial resources. Since the open-up of the gaming industry in 2002, Macau has attracted more foreign investors, spurring tourism and overall consumption. Other areas of growth include finance, insurance, and real estate.
Macau’s overall score has improved slightly by 0.5 from a year earlier to 72.5, making it the 20th freest among 179 economies worldwide, up one place from the year before. Macau is ranked 6th in the Asia-Pacific region while its overall score is well above the world and regional averages.
The study covers economies in different regions across the world, which have been assessed with 10 factors of economic freedom. Macau ranks relatively high in factors such as trade freedom, investment freedom, fiscal freedom, monetary freedom and financial freedom.
《華爾街日報》及美國傳統基金會發表2010年全球經濟自由度指數, 澳門躋身前20位, 屬于「較為自由」級別。 報告認為澳門公共財政繼續錄得盈余, 令澳門政府能夠輕松應對全球金融危機及推出援助措施。 報告宣稱澳門作為一個自由港, 一直受惠於全球貿易及投資。 澳門整體營商環境效率高、稅率低及尊重產權; 外國投資者與本地商界人士一樣, 從事商業活動均具有同等待遇; 穩健的監管機制則確保了金融資源的自由流動。 自2002年博彩業開放後澳門吸引更多外國投資者, 並刺激旅遊業和整體消費。 其他增長領域包括金融, 保險及房地產等。
該項數據指在全球179個經濟體中澳門名列20位, 較去年晉升一級; 總體評分較去年輕微上升0.5分至72.5分, 在亞太地區41個國家和地區中排名第6。 總體評分明顯較世界及區內平均為高。 這項研究涵蓋全球不同地區的經濟體, 並對10項經濟自由領域進行評估。 澳門在10項經濟自由度評分中以政府開支一項得分最高, 遠高于全球平均分, 僅次于緬甸和新加坡名列全球第3。 澳門排名較高的領域包括有貿易自由度、投資自由度、財政自由度、貨幣自由度及金融自由度等。
經濟自由度指數是由《華爾街日報》和美國傳統基金會發布的年度報告。 涵蓋全球155個國家和地區, 是全球權威的經濟自由度評價指標之一。

親自設計代言+show最sexy身段+演唱會 - 6.27澳門金光綜藝館盛大舉行 (亲自设计代言+show最sexy身段+演唱会 - 6.27澳门金光综艺馆盛大举行)
Text Source : Macau Contempo新潮雜誌
Rain以模特兒身份進入演藝圈,已經成為時尚圈的風尚指標、國際巨星Rain最近轉攻服裝新領域,也借此機會使全球歌迷匯聚一堂,再次全新出擊。 繼去年12月23日six to five在韓國舉行了開業Fashion Concert,這個由Rain參與設計並代言的服裝品牌便紅遍了韓國。 2009夏季,由澳門動力娛樂製作舉辦,Rain全情演出的Six to Five Fashion Concert衝出韓國,將於6月27日在澳門威尼斯人金光綜藝館舉行。
Six to Five是由Rain所屬經紀公司~韓國娛樂公司J.Tune entertainment和Rain共同參與成立的J.Tune Creative時裝品牌。 在Six to Five的世界裡,Rain不單單是形象代言人,更是設計師,是模特,還是歌手。 他把這四重角色扮演的都很完美。 在為該品牌拍攝的宣傳畫報中,他在追求經典的形象中混入了感性元素的[時尚傳統休閒]傳達至觀者心中,深受[雲朵]們的歡迎。
據悉,這埸由集合香港,韓國近100多人的超大製作團隊共同打造、由Rain擔任總導演,百分之百純Rain show的時裝發佈會,具備了眾多看點。 整場fashion show,將融合服裝秀及Rain的演唱會。現場所有展示的服裝都由Rain擔任特別設計。
6月27日,Rain將赴澳門舉行這場潮人派對演出,由於6月25日是他的生日,澳門的[雲朵]們也興致勃勃地開始策劃如何為偶像慶生。 six to five的誕生將是Rain事業上的重大轉捩點,他時尚休閒的概念與Rain互相融合貼切。 Rain此次借自有品牌的橫突出世,將性感與健康的完美形象從個唱及演出事業滲透至服裝之中。

韓國樂壇天王Rain,最近轉攻服裝新領域,在經理人公司的支持下,以自己的生日日期 “625”推出自己的服裝品牌Six to Five,去年十二月在韓國舉行了開業時裝騷音樂會,當時李孝利、朴志胤、尹繼尚、金善雅、蔡琳、韓恩貞等韓國紅星紛紛撑場,星光熠熠。在粉絲的要求下,Rain將於六月廿七日在澳門舉辦一場“花生騷演唱會”,與澳門樂迷見面。
這場澳門“花生騷演唱會”,Rain除了是服裝設計師、歌手之外,亦擔任總導演,親力親為監督每項細節及各式設計編排,有別於韓國時的演出,以答謝澳門歌迷的支持。
被問到第一眼看到自己設計的第一件服裝變成商品的感覺時,Rain說:“與誕生、創新有同樣的快感,如同製作新唱片一樣,心情很愉快。(為何有將時裝騷和演唱會融合到一起的想法?)我想打破時裝騷固有的觀念和方式,我覺得和演唱會融為一體的演出更加有看頭,希望觀衆也會喜歡。”
Rain 以前亦來過澳門,最近一次是在二○○七年尾來澳參加“Asia Award”頒奬典禮,並獲得“男子亞洲明星奬”的時候。在Rain的印象中,澳門是一個非常美麗的城市,希望他的這個“Six to Five”服裝騷演唱會在澳門會有較好的反應,也很期待和澳門觀衆在舞台上的第一次見面。
由於六月二十五日是Rain的生日,主辦單位特別選定六月二十七日為他在澳門舉行這個別開生面的演唱會。消息傳出後,韓國、日本及亞洲各地的歌迷,已開始組團到時來澳支持偶像!
