The gross domestic product (GDP) of south
China's Guangdong Province amounted to 950.6 billion yuan last year, representing a growth
rate of 10.5 percent over the previous year. The growth has resumed the
normal pace in the years before the attack of Asia's financial crisis which occurred in
1997.
The annual growth rate of the province's agriculture, industry and the tertiary
industry registered 2.5 percent, 11.9 percent and 10.6 percent, respectively.
This is one of Xinhua's dispatches on major economic indicators of ten major
Chinese regions.
The ten regions are the provinces of Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Zhejiang,
Henan, Liaoning, and the municipalities of Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and Chongqing. These
provinces and municipalities make up the bulk of the Chinese economy.
