GBA Economy breaks through ¥15 trillion

The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is on track to eclipse a ¥15 trillion combined GDP in 2025, a significant milestone underscoring deeper economic integration across Hong Kong, Macau and the nine mainland cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai. This expectation was set at the Guangdong Provincial People’s Congress, which highlighted gains in intercity transport — over 4,000 km of rail networks and 17 cross-border water routes — and expanded cross-border services (198 government services available) that smooth business flows. The region’s innovation ecosystem also drew thousands of young entrepreneurs, with 7,000 projects now landing in GBA hubs.
