BEIJING, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese capital Beijing's GDP exceeded 5.207 trillion yuan (about 743.79 billion U.S. dollars) in 2025, up 5.4 percent year on year, surpassing the 5 trillion yuan mark for the first time, according to the municipal statistics bureau.
Beijing's growth is anchored in its continuous industrial upgrading, with the tertiary sector -- dominated by high-tech and services industries -- contributing considerably. The digital economy's added value accounts for over 40 percent of the city's GDP.
Innovation remains Beijing's core advantage. An average of over 300 technology enterprises are established daily in the city, with the capital's number of large AI models filed and launched online leading the nation.
Metrics like energy consumption and carbon emissions per unit of GDP remain the lowest nationwide, proving that economic expansion can coexist with environmental sustainability. The city's PM2.5 pollution levels have dropped by two-thirds since 2013, earning it international acclaim for its green transition.
