Economic Zones

In the article, the authors analyze the functioning of special economic zones in the Russian Federation. Currently, based on the established world practice, special economic zones can act as a catalyst for attracting foreign investment and ensuring effective regional socio-economic development. Therefore, according to the authors, the issues of improving the functioning of the SEZ are of particular importance. The analysis of the results of the functioning of special economic zones in the Russian Federation shows that there is a significant potential for their development. Due to the fact that the functioning of special economic zones is inextricably linked with the conduct of foreign economic activity, and the SEZs themselves are a tool for integrating the country into global value chains, the issues of customs regulation of activities on their territory become important, which acts as an effective way for the state to influence foreign economic activity and have significant opportunities in stimulating the development of special economic zones in the Russia. In this regard, the study of the application of customs regulation measures as important factors in the development of special economic zones in the Russian Federation is very relevant. Special attention was paid to the study of the regulatory framework for the application of customs procedures in respect of goods imported into the territory of special economic zones and exported from such territories. According to the results of the study, it was found that there are significant gaps in the current legislative regulation of this range of legal relations. The article formulates specific measures that can contribute to improving the efficiency of the functioning of special economic zones in the Russian Federation.

Fiscal Implications

This paper analyzes the fiscal implications of special economic zones (SEZs) on the government exchequer. The analysis is based on aggregating data collected from seven conventional SEZs and taking 1990–1991 to 2007–2008 as the reference period. The exercise reveals that the government has spent huge sums of money to play the role of a trade facilitator and has, in the process, lost considerable revenue as a fiscal manager. This, in turn, has affected both revenue and capital expenditure of the government's budget. Given the magnitude of these costs, one cannot but raise questions about the actual contributions of these enclaves to the national fiscal health and the feasibility of relentlessly adopting measures that seeks to promote these zones across the nation.

Over Time

This chapter provides a global, historical overview of the role of special economic zones (SEZs) in supporting industrialization, showing that approaches, experiences, and results vary widely across countries and over time, and identifying a number of key lessons on what differentiates successful from unsuccessful SEZ programmes. Amongst these lessons, the chapter highlights the importance of political support, location decisions, aligning the incentives of key stakeholders, strategic flexibility, and local economy integration over time. Perhaps most importantly, it argues that SEZs which successfully supported industrialization have aligned their SEZ offering with comparative advantage and have used the flexibility of the SEZ instrument in a targeted way to overcome critical constraints to large-scale private investment.
