On October 23, the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics released the province's economic data for the first three quarters of 2026. Guangdong's gross domestic product (GDP) reached 11.109 trillion yuan, up 4.6% year-on-year at constant prices — the highest growth rate for the same period in five years.

The report shows that Guangdong's economic growth has kept pace with the national average, while its total economic output continues to rank first in the country. Key indicators including agriculture, industrial output, retail sales of consumer goods, foreign trade, and household income all picked up from the first half of the year.

Amid a complex domestic and international environment, Guangdong's economy stays steady while forging ahead, shifting toward more innovative and higher-quality development. Support from new quality productive forces keeps growing, domestic and international economic flows are better linked, and the synergy between livelihood improvements and economic growth is increasingly evident.
