Central Asia is a region that emerged only 30 years ago from the Soviet Union, and it has been making up for the lost time. Since then, SEZs have become a popular tool in the region to attract investment and liberalize economies.

The Caribbean is a booming place for SEZs. From the huge, unique zones like Cuba's Mariel to the many standard exporting zones of the Dominican Republic, they come in many shapes and sizes, and often very different management strategies.

Central America is one of the most innovative and competitive regions for Special Economic Zones globally. Learn more about SEZs in Central America.

The next cradle of explosive growth in the SEZ industry will be Africa.
