Link to originalSEZs come in all shapes and sizes, but they are based on a similar logic. Governments create quasi-autonomous areas within the states they govern, able to implement tax and regulatory policies different to those that apply in the rest of the country.
Governments often parcel up their sovereignty in this way in the hope that doing so will attract inward investment and create jobs, while preserving existing tax and regulation in the rest of the economy.
