Special Economic Zones in Russia

The Special Economic Zones in Russia are established by the Russian government to attract foreign direct investment.[1] The privileges of special economic zones last for 49 years, and offer their residents a special legal status resulting in a number of tax and customs preferences.[1]

Russia has eighteen federal special economic zones (SEZs) and several regional projects. Federal SEZs in Russia are regulated by Federal Law # 116 FZ issued on July 22, 2005.[2]

There are MNCs among investors to Russia's SEZ, such as Yokohama, Cisco, Isuzu, Air Liquide, Bekaert, Rockwool and many others.

History

Federal Law # 116 FZ was issued on July 22, 2005 to regulate SEZs.

Open joint-stock company OSJC "Special Economic Zones" was founded in 2006 to accumulate and implement world's best practices in developing and managing SEZ and promote Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Russian economy. It is fully owned and funded by the Russian state. It managed fifteen to-be federal SEZs.

As of March 2010, Russia's federal SEZs host 207 investors from eighteen countries.

gollark: Nope!
gollark: Anyway, someone noticed it eventually and got rid of those. But it turned out that it had become pretty smart and realized this might happen, so it had backups which used really weird exploits to install itself on loads of CC devices.
gollark: It continued learning and advancing using its artificial intelligence capabilities, because apparently nobody had thought to deny it access to HTTP and stuff.
gollark: It turned out to have not been shut down very well, because it continued running on a few computers near the test site.
