澳門經濟規模小，屬於“微型經濟體”。世界上一些微型經濟體如新加坡、盧森堡、香港等國家和地區在經濟發展中表現不俗，取得了令人矚目的成就。香港重視通過與內地的合作促進經濟結構調整、在產業調整過程中發揮調節作用、注重效率和公平；盧森堡根據自身區位優勢，選擇發展優勢產業，以集群形式實現優勢產業轉型升級、以主導產業為基礎推進經濟多元發展；新加坡則堅持引進來和走出去的戰略、重視結構調整中的人才建設與技術創新。上述經驗皆可為澳門經濟適度多元發展提供參照。

Certain mini-economies of the world, such as Singapore, Luxemburg and Hong Kong, had performed well and achieved successfully in economic development. In Hong Kong, the economic structure had been adjusted through cooperation with the Mainland, which played a moderation role during the process, while focusing on efficiency and fairness. In Luxemburg, competitive industries were selected based on its regional development advantage. Industrial transformation and upgrading were realised through cluster effect, and economic diversification was promoted with the dominating industry as the foundation. In Singapore, the strategies of “bringing in” and “go global” were insisted and had focused especially on capacity building of professionals and technical innovations during the adjustment process. These experiences provide reference to the moderate economic diversification of Macau, which itself is also a mini-economy.
