Jan-July: Added value for industrial enterprises jumps 16%
In the first 7 months of this year, the added value created by Guangdong's industrial enterprises above a designated size (i.e. all state-owned enterprises plus non state-owned enterprises with an annual sales income of over 5 million yuan) increased by 16 percent. A government conference on the industrial economy held yesterday (August 25) showed that in the first 5 months, profit reached 146.2 billion yuan, up 66%. However, Guangdong Governor Huang Huahua pointed out that the domestic and overseas situation trend will continue to remain difficult. Efforts must be made to adjust and upgrade industrial structure so as to maintain economic growth. He stressed that the performance of the industrial economy should be included into the appraisal criteria of local governments and leaders.

The aim was to connect and to eventually integrate China into the global economy.

Yesterday, Shenzhen started construction on 60 big projects with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan, a special tribute to the 30th anniversary.
