回归以后，澳门特区政府在行政改革方面基本采取“固本培元”的方针，以稳定发展为主，激进改革为辅。随着澳门赌权开放，高速发展的澳门经济促使澳门特区政府加快行政改革的步伐。特区政府在2006年提出了公共行政改革路线图，并取得一些成绩，但澳门行政改革仍有很长的路要走，而且是长期而艰巨的任务。
After Macao’s returning to China，the Macao SAR Government adopted the strategy of consolidation first，rather than radical measures as far as the public administrative reforms are concerned. Since Macao opened its gambling franchise in 2002，the rapidly expanding Macao economy exerted strong pressure on the Macao government in the field of administrative reforms. The Macao Government published its Public Administrative Reform Roadmap in 2006 and has achieved certain degree of achievement in two years. However，the roadmap needs a long time and arduous efforts to be fully realized in Macao.
