8. 5 trillion yuan is the starting point and 11 trillion yuan is the direction. The 50 initiatives of the implementation programme have been laid out, and the route for the enhancement of services in guangdong has been clarified, leaving an article-by-article reconciliation and the submission of individual papers。
