Recognising the opportunities to be part of a better future

In April 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping inspected Guangdong and highlighted "We need to make the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area a strategic fulcrum of new development pattern, demonstration of high-quality development and leading area of Chinese-style modernisation".

In 2023, The GBA’s GDP exceeded 1.4 billion yuan. This important area produced 11% of China’s GDP by less than 0.6% of the country’s land and 6% of the total population and has been the essential engine of China’s development. As one of the most opening and powerful areas, the GBA is moving to become an international first-class bay area and world-class cluster.
