"경기도 GRDP, 최근 7년 동안 전국 2위"
Gyeonggi Province has stepped up efforts to refute remarks by some lawmakers claiming that 'Gyeonggi Province's GRDP is the lowest.' An official from Gyeonggi Province's Economic Policy Division stated, "In 2012, Gyeonggi Province's GRDP growth rate ranked 11th among the nation's 16 cities and provinces," and explained, "This is a temporary phenomenon due to economic downturn, and over the past seven years since 2006, Gyeonggi Province has shown an average annual growth rate of 5.5%, ranking second nationally in GRDP growth rate after South Chungcheong Province (8.0%)."
