"One Core, One Belt, One Area" has its own advantageous industries.
In the first half of this year, the GDP of the Pearl River Delta region increased by 7.2%, maintaining the leading position in the province; The east and west wings are basically stable, with the east wing increasing by 6.1% and the west wing increasing by 5.6%; The mountainous area slowed down, with an increase of 3.9%.
From the perspective of economic aggregate, the GDP of Shenzhen and Guangzhou in the first half of the year was above 1 trillion yuan, reaching 1,100.938 billion yuan and 1,065.298 billion yuan respectively; The total regional GDP of Foshan and Dongguan is 447.598 billion yuan and 386.860 billion yuan respectively. The total amount of seven cities such as Huizhou and Zhongshan is between 100 billion and 200 billion yuan; The total amount of 10 cities such as Jieyang and Zhaoqing is below 100 billion yuan. In terms of growth rate, among the regional GDP of 21 cities, Zhuhai has the highest growth rate, with an increase of 8.7%; Followed by Shanwei and Shenzhen, with an increase of 8.2% and 8.0% respectively.
The report pointed out that Guangdong’s "one core, one belt and one district" has different advantageous industries. The so-called "one core, one belt and one area" refers to the coastal economy formed by the core area of the Pearl River Delta, eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and the cities of the Pearl River Delta, and the ecological development area dominated by the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong. In the first half of the year, the industrial growth in the Pearl River Delta region was 7.5%, which was 1.6, 4.6 and 3.6 percentage points higher than that in the east wing, west wing and mountainous area respectively, which strongly supported the steady and progressive development trend of the Pearl River Delta. The dominant industries in the East Wing are transportation, warehousing and postal services (up 14.2%) and for-profit services (up 25%). The financial industry (up 8.0%) and real estate industry (up 6.3%) in the West Wing are better than those in other regions. The for-profit service industry in mountainous areas (up by 20.1%) has also developed rapidly.
In the first half of the year, the proportion of service industry in regional GDP generally increased. In 15 of the 21 cities, the proportion of service industry in regional GDP increased year-on-year, and Jieyang increased the fastest, with a year-on-year increase of 7.7 percentage points. Yangjiang and Heyuan also increased by 4.9 and 4.1 percentage points respectively.
New and old kinetic energy are continuously transformed, and the industrial structure is continuously optimized.
From the perspective of pulling factors, the financial industry and real estate industry are affected by policy regulation, and the pulling rate of each region has declined, reflecting the obvious role of financial "risk prevention" and real estate "deleveraging" policies. At the same time, the pulling rate of for-profit service industry to various regions has generally increased, and its pulling rate to the Pearl River Delta, East Wing, West Wing and Mountain Area has increased by 0.4, 0.5, 0.4 and 0.4 percentage points respectively, which has become an important driving force for economic growth in various regions, and the quality and efficiency of various regions have steadily improved.

The growth rate of modern service industry in 14 cities is higher than that of regional GDP. Shanwei, Shenzhen and Yangjiang are the fastest growing cities, with growth rates of 13.1%, 11.5% and 9.6% respectively, which are 4.9, 3.5 and 6.0 percentage points higher than that of regional GDP in this city.

Producer services in the east wing, west wing and mountainous areas increased by 10.9%, 9.1% and 6.4% respectively, which were higher than the growth rate of the tertiary industry, accounting for 20.0%, 18.6% and 20.2% of the regional GDP.
In the first half of the year, the added value of Guangdong’s private economy was 2,439.569 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2%, which was 0.1 percentage point higher than the regional GDP in the same period, accounting for 52.6% of the regional GDP. The growth rate of private economy in 21 cities is between 0.9% and 10.9% respectively, and the growth rate of private economy in 12 cities is higher than that of their regional GDP.
