SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES
as a mechanism for effective development
International Investment and Innovation Activities.
Special (Free) Economic zones (SEZ, SEZ) are considered by many as innovations of developing countries of the last decade.
In fact, both the Economic Cooperation Organization and the World Bank agree with UNIDO (UNIDO) that the SEZ (SEZ), at best, is the second most profitable way to stimulate trade and national prosperity; the best way is simply through investment in the domestic economy.
Special (Special)An economic zone (SEZ, SEZ), as a rule, is a geographically localized land plot with clear fixed borders and a special administrative regime, managed by one organization offering a structured package of incentives from the state (for example, exemption from customs duties) for companies that place their business in the SEZ."
(The World Bank)
In world practice, special economic zones are a part of a separate territory with a special preferential treatment for business activities, including tax, customs, financial, trade and administrative benefits.
Currently, more than 7000 SEZs operate in more than 180 countries of the world and more than 100 million people work in free zones around the world. Such a large number of SEZs is explained by the importance of the tasks being solved: SEZs serve as an important tool for the development of territories and entire industries. Many countries successfully use the SEZ tool to achieve priority goals, including economic diversification, export development, and attracting foreign direct investment.
The advantage of doing business in the SEZ is to reduce the costs of investors when implementing projects by an average of 30%-50%. The competitive advantage of the SEZ is a special legal status (SEZ resident status), which allows investors to take advantage of tax, customs and social preferences, as well as to carry out the construction of municipal and transport infrastructure facilities. SEZ residents have the opportunity to lease land plots. Reducing the costs of residents makes it possible to accelerate the implementation of investment projects to create new industrial, high-tech products.
In international practice, free economic zones are understood as isolated territories of states where special favorable conditions for the activities of foreign enterprises are created to solve specific economic and other tasks.
SEZ concepts -"A special (Special, Free) economic zone is understood as a part of the territory (economic space) of a state with a special, preferential regime of economic, foreign trade, investment activities.
SEZ is a part of the national territory with special preferential foreign trade, customs, investment, monetary, financial and tax regimes that encourage economic (industrial, commercial, entrepreneurial) activities of foreign participants, attracting foreign investment and advanced foreign technologies.
SEZ and SEZ as equivalent concepts and define them as "a relatively isolated part of the territory of the country where a special legal regime for business is established, including tax, customs, administrative and civil benefits and guarantees.
Special Economic Zones are a system of ensuring economic security.
