Economy
Everbright International has its Jinan office in Tianqiao District.[5] Historically, the district served as Jinan city's old industrial base, housing numerous enterprises in chemicals, paper, printing and dyeing, and automobile manufacturing. However, in recent years, Tianqiao district has strategically focused on industrial upgrading. As a result, the district has gradually established four key industries, namely new materials, intelligent manufacturing, high-end logistics, and modern commerce. Furthermore, it maintains a favorable debt burden, with well-managed debt growth within reasonable bounds. Overall, the credit status of the district remains stable.[6]
