I. Zone Type
Greater involvement of the private sector in the development of zones should
be encouraged; international experience reveals that a significant number of
government developed and managed zones have been less effective than their
private counterparts.
Egypt's new "Investment Zone" regime allows for the private sector to establish, manage
and promote these zones.
Kuwait's Free Trade Zones (KFTZ) were established and managed by the privately owned
National Real Estate Company.
Libya is pursuing a private sector involvement whereby Dubai's JAFZA International has
signed an agreement with the FTZ authority committing both sides to explore the
possibility of forming a joint venture or granting JAFZA a 30 year concession over the FTZ.
Morocco is further developing its second free zone in cooperation with Dubai based JAFZA
Oman is developing the Knowledge Oasis Muscat as a public-private sector led technology
park.
