Economic Zones and Foreign Investments

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) have become a cornerstone of modern economic strategies aimed at fostering industrialization, boosting export capabilities, and attracting foreign direct investments (FDI). This paper examines the role of SEZs in enhancing FDI inflows, explores their economic and social implications, and highlights challenges and policy recommendations for sustainable development. Case studies from global leaders such as China, India, and the UAE underscore the transformative potential of SEZs, while also revealing critical gaps that require attention for inclusive growth.
