companies of which 41% opened offices—a significant
increase from the 250 companies four years ago, according
to data from the Qianhai Authority. Moreover, in March 2017,

plan to press forward with development of a city cluster
in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,
which includes Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. The
South China economy is expected to strength further when
execution of the Greater Bay plan is implemented in five
years’ time.
