Notes :

(a) Calculated from base sources eliminating the portions of Huizhou and Zhaoqing not part of the official definition of the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone.
(b) The Fifth National Census for the Chinese Mainland was carried out in 2000.
(c) Calculated from percentage of production-based GDP at current prices for 2002, less adjustment for financial intermediation services indirectly measured for the tertiary sector. Official figures for Macao’s total GDP follow the expenditure approach.
(d) Real GDP for 1980, 1990, and 2002 for the PRD are derived from implicit deflator for Guangdong Province.
(e) Real GDP for 1980, 1990, and 2002 for YRD are derived from implicit deflator for Shanghai.
(f) For Chinese Mainland jurisdictions figures are for firms with > 5 million RMB in sales.
(g) Simple summation of figures from Hong Kong, Macao, and the PRD are used for the Greater Pearl River Delta region. Note that these figures include intra-regional trade and investment, so should be adjusted.
(h) YRD imports with imports from Hong Kong subtracted out for better comparability with (j). No YRD import figures from Macao available.
(i) YRD imports from Hong Kong with estimates for missing 2002 figures for Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Hangzhou.
(j) Greater PRD imports from economies other than Hong Kong, Macao, and China calculated for better comparability with (h). Total was calculated as (PRD total imports + HK total imports + Macao total imports) - (HK imports from China + 80% of HK exports to China + HK imports from Macao + Macao imports from HK + Macao imports from China + 80% of Macao exports to China). The 80% of HK’s and Macao’s exports to China was designed to estimate the imports into the Pearl River Delta region of the Chinese Mainland from Hong Kong and Macao.
(k) YRD exports with exports to Hong Kong subtracted out for better comparability with (m). No YRD export figures from Macao available.
(l) YRD exports to Hong Kong with estimates for missing 2002 figures for Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Hangzhou.
(m) Greater PRD exports to economies other than Hong Kong, Macao, and China calculated for better comparability with (k). Total was calculated as (PRD total exports + HK total exports + Macao total exports) - (HK exports to China + 80% of HK imports from China + HK exports to Macao + Macao exports to HK + Macao exports to China + 80% of Macao imports from China). The 80% of HK’s and Macao’s imports from China was designed to estimate the exports of the Pearl River Delta region of the Chinese Mainland to Hong Kong and Macao.
(n) The figure includes all of Zhaoqing and Huizhou, since data did not allow for a separation of the portions inside and outside the official definition of the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone.
(o) The Hong Kong and Macao portion of FDI into YRD was estimated from their respective portions of FDI into Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.
(p) Estimated by subtracting the Hong Kong and Macao source FDI into the PRD and the estimated Chinese portion of FDI into Hong Kong and Macao.
  The exchange rates used in the table are 2002: US$1 = HK$7.8 = RMB 8.28 = MOP 8.033; 1990: US$1 = HK$7.8 = RMB 4.7832 = MOP 8.02; 1980: US$1 = HK$5.14 = RMB 1.5435 = MOP 6.27.

Glossary

Population – care should be taken when using population figures for the Mainland as different figures are used on different occasions. Registered population is defined as the population with official police registration and is reported every year. Census population is the population actually resident in a location at the time of the ten yearly national Census. The big different between the two figures is migrant and floating population. Population figures for the Pearl River Delta therefore show a large difference between registered and census population since many workers in the Pearl River Delta are not officially registered there. The most common figure used is the registered population.

GDP – the Mainland uses internationally accepted definitions and means of calculating GDP.

Primary sector includes farming, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, natural resource extraction and similar industries.

Secondary sector includes manufacturing, construction, mining, water supply, electricity supply, gas supply and similar industries.

Tertiary sector includes all other industries not included in the primary and secondary sectors.
