With a GDP of 315.7 billion yuan (US$43.6 billion) in 2023, Huangpu District is rapidly developing a robust science and innovation industry system with a strong emphasis on digital technology and health sciences. This growth has positioned it as second in the city while leading the central districts, with the financial sector playing a significant role in driving this growth by contributing 43 percent of the district’s total added value.

To further enhance its global influence, Huangpu District plans to host high-level financial events like the Bund Summit to drive growth in financial technology and asset management. Additionally, the district aims to become a world-class trading hub by upgrading popular shopping destinations such as the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall, Huaihai Road M., and Yuyuan Garden Malls. These locations are set to become premier destinations for commerce and tourism in the future.
