In the first seven months of this year, the added value created by Guangdong's industrial enterprises above a designated size increased by 16 percent. A government conference on the industrial economy held on August 25 reported that in the first five months, profit reached 146.2 billion RMB, up 66 percent. However, Guangdong Governor Huang Huahua pointed out that the domestic and overseas situation trend continues to remain difficult. The Governor stressed that the performance of the industrial economy should be included into the appraisal criteria of local governments and leaders.
