OECD Project Highlight: Chreod completes work on OECD Territorial Review of Guangdong Province, China

2009-09-03

Chreod has completed its report to the OECD on regional development trends and challenges in Guangdong Province, once the economic powerhouse of China. After a year of research, including extensive field investigation, Chreod’s report

analyses shifts in Guangdong’s competitiveness and recommends strategies for regional development that could better realize the province’s comparative advantages. This was OECD’s first Territorial Review in China. Our work enables OECD to recommend far-reaching strategies to the provincial government for restructuring Guangdong’s economy, adjusting regional development policy, and focusing capital investment on improving accessibility to strategic centers, improving human capital, and strenghtening local innovation capacities.
