GUANGZHOU, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) — South China's Guangdong Province saw the establishment of 36,000 new foreign-invested enterprises by the end of 2025, up 38.7 percent year-on-year. The volume of foreign capital actually utilized reached 112.66 billion yuan (16.13 billion U.S. dollars), up 11.3 percent year-on-year, according to data released Monday at the fifth session of the 14th Guangdong Provincial People's Congress.

Last year, the province accelerated the implementation of a series of major foreign-invested projects. BASF's Zhanjiang-Verbund Integrated Base Project (Guangdong Province), ExxonMobil's Huizhou Ethylene Project, and the third phase of CNOOC and Royal Dutch Shell's Huizhou Ethylene Project attracted a combined investment of over 120 billion yuan. In 2025, the province completed 38 new major foreign-invested projects, each with new investment exceeding US$100 million, a 40.7 percent year-on-year increase.

The Guangdong Provincial Government's work report, which contains the work plan for 2026, proposes accelerating investment in high and emerging technologies that reflect future development trends.

Efforts will focus on attracting more leading multinational corporations and sovereign wealth funds to invest in Guangdong, stimulating reinvestment by foreign-invested enterprises in China, and expanding localized manufacturing. Provincial authorities will actively implement high-level international economic and trade regulations, deepen reforms aimed at expanding the Guangdong Pilot Free Trade Zone, and strengthen coordination with the Hainan Free Trade Port.

The government's work report also emphasizes the importance of implementing high-quality, world-class service systems in all cities across the province, as well as developing integrated services covering entry and exit procedures, accommodation, food, transportation, tourism, consumption, and healthcare. Measures will be taken to improve multilingual signage and convenient payment methods to create a more internationalized environment.
