Roundtable Decision SUAR "Attractive Accelerative SEZ" December 02, 2025

Attractive Accelerative SEZ Roundtable Decision

SUAR discussion forum with stakeholders related to Special Economic Zone Development. Organized on December 02, 2025.

The role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) has far greater potential than just being considered as areas to attract investment. SEZs can be directed to become a driving force for national economic development with the ability to accelerate investment flows, encourage innovation, and facilitate technology transfer to various industrial sectors.

In addition, SEZs also have the power to create a more competitive business ecosystem through various facilities and incentives, such as import duty exemptions, ease of licensing, and integrated infrastructure support. The existence of this ecosystem provides opportunities for companies to accelerate production processes, reduce operational costs, and improve product quality, so that the competitiveness of the national industry can continue to grow.

Spotlight Report "Special Economic Zones"

Previously, SUAR had conducted in-depth coverage and analysis related to the development of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). From the results of field searches, a number of important messages emerged to strengthen the function and competitiveness of SEZs, especially related to the need to accelerate infrastructure development, provide investment support facilities, and clearer socialization of incentives and operational procedures in SEZs.

The SUAR team also explored the views of industry players, regulators, and economic analysts through the Business World Universe Survey on the challenges faced by SEZs and strategic steps that the business world can take to optimize the role of SEZs, especially in encouraging investment, innovation, and quality job creation.
