WHY IS THE GREATER PEARL RIVER DELTA IMPORTANT? Composed of 9+2 key cities from three jurisdictions (see Figure below), the Greater Pearl River Delta Region represents an enormous opportunity for Australian businesses, looking to engage in China. Following China s first steps of internationalization through its Open Door Policy in 1979, the economic development of the Pearl River Delta Region has occurred at an extraordinary rate with some of China s largest companies, based in this region. Seen as the model of transition from development phase into a newly industrialised zone, the Greater Pearl River Delta Region provides a significant springboard into greater China for those who have not previously engaged in the country. GREATER PEARL RIVER DELTA FACT SHEET Population: 64.66 Million (2012) Larger than the UK or Italy GDP: $757 Billion USD. Equal to the 16th largest economy in the world Investment: Largest source of Foreign Direct Investment in China (19.3%) Logistics Hub: Home to 3 of the busiest 7 Container Ports in the World WHY TRAVEL TO CHINA WITH ABF?
