Shenzhen's economic output and gross domestic product per capita in 2035 will double from 2020, according to the city's outline for its 14th five-year plan and its long-term targets for 2035, which were released on Wednesday.

Last year, the city's GDP was more than 2.76 trillion yuan ($432.76 billion) while its GDP per capita reached 157,600 yuan.

The five-year plan's outline sets economic growth targets that the city's total economic volume will surpass 4 trillion yuan, with the added value of strategic emerging industries reaching more than 1.5 trillion yuan in 2025. Disposable income for each resident will hit 90,000 yuan on average.
