Guangdong remains the largest provincial economy in China, recording GDP growth of 4.1% year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2025 to reach US$10.5 trillion.
Against this backdrop, members of the China Committee received the latest updates on the province’s development during the China Committee meeting at the Guangdong Economic & Trade Representative Office in Hong Kong on 12 December. Director Lynn Tsai reported that during the same period, outbound direct investment (ODI) surged by 61.1% to US$24.25 billion, while foreign direct investment (FDI) into Guangdong rose 2.8% to US$3.4 trillion.
To accelerate the growth of strategic industries, including the low-altitude economy, biomedicine and AI robotics, Tsai said the government has lifted foreign investment restrictions through pilot schemes in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Additional incentives have been introduced to encourage foreign enterprises to establish headquarters and R&D centres in Guangdong.
