The 2024 iteration of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Intelligence’s flagship Global Free Zones of the Year Awards comes at a time of a fragmenting global economy, growing trade tensions and record levels of investment in free trade zones (FTZs) and special economic zones worldwide.
Countries are rolling out new FTZ regimes and programmes in their bid to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) from companies seeking to minimise risks and operating costs in a global economy beset by higher interest rates, inflation and conflicts disrupting global trade and supply chains.
It is within this context that fDi set out to find the most successful free zones engaged in the best practices worldwide. Like in previous years, our global free zones rankings relied on responses to a 10-question voluntary survey.
