Special Economic Zones (SEZ): evaluating incentives and risk before entry
SEZs sound like “tax savings”, but HQ teams care more about predictability: governance, compliance, FX and contractual risk.
A practical way to look at SEZs
- Not only incentives, but conditions: reporting, localization requirements, import/export rules.
- Jurisdictional risk: counterparties, banking, repatriation, FX perimeter.
- Operations: infrastructure, logistics, talent availability, security.
Due diligence checklist before a decision
- Who governs the zone and how entry rules are enforced.
- Which permits still apply (municipal/sector).
- Your obligations (capex, jobs, KPIs) and how they’re measured.
- Banking and tax perimeter for your business model.
