Shandong zone boosts its growth

The Yanggu Economic Development Zone – located in Yanggu county in Liaocheng city, in East China's Shandong province – made major achievements last year as it strived to help boost the county's high-quality development.

In 2022, the development zone actually utilized foreign investment of $70.53 million, achieved a total import and export volume of 16.9 billion yuan ($2.44 billion), ranked 42nd among 160 development zones in the province in the evaluation of comprehensive development, and ranked first in Liaocheng's development zones for four consecutive years.

"It only took us 15 days from settling in Yanggu Economic Development Zone to start trial production," said Tang Shaozhe, a manager of Shandong Aikete Precision Machinery Co Ltd.
