Macau Chinese Chamber of Commerce

The Macau Chinese Chamber of Commerce (Chinese: 澳門中華總商會,Portuguese: Associação Comercial de Macau), is one of the most influential business associations in Macau. It was established on January 8, 1913, as the Macao Chamber of Commerce , and was officially changed to its current name in 1916.

Origins

Founded in the early 20th century, at the encouragement of the Qing government, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was established with the approval of the Portuguese and Portuguese authorities. This chamber, the predecessor to the Macau Chinese Chamber of Commerce, sought to serve the business interests of the Chinese in the Portuguese territory until its founding charter was revoked in 1911 by the Portuguese colonial administration. Chinese businessmen, dissatisfied with the lack of representation in Macau, proposed an independent business association which was later approved on December 14, 1912 and formally established on January 8, 1913, as the Macao Chamber of Commerce.[1]
