The continuous rise in production input costs and significant fluctuations in global oil prices have prompted industries worldwide to adopt effective strategies for remaining competitive and strengthening their position in international markets.
One of the key outcomes of these developments has been the growing importance of Special Economic Zones, which offer attractive legal and regulatory advantages. By providing investment incentives, countries seek to attract both domestic and foreign investors, stimulate economic development, and enhance industrial competitiveness.
The main objectives of these initiatives include promoting economic growth, creating employment opportunities, facilitating technology transfer and development, improving managerial skills, enhancing the quality of domestic products, and strengthening export capabilities to compete effectively in global markets.
Undoubtedly, the Persian Gulf Special Economic Zone is poised to become one of the country’s most successful special economic zones in the non-oil sector. Furthermore:
