According to him relief in special economic zones (SEZ) make sense in the case of the highest unemployment.
“zones were created in some other reality than we have now, if the aim was actually attracting foreign investment, which creates jobs, especially in areas of high unemployment. Experience shows that really the most effective are those areas that are located within the limits of the strongest agglomeration or logistically well located. It is not always the most effective in those places where unemployment is highest, “- said the expert Szultka PAP Institute for Market Economics (IBnGR). He gave an example in this context, the east wall.
He noted, however, that zones play an important role: improve the conditions of the Companies eg. through the construction of infrastructure and entertainment functions. He noted that recent changes are introduced that are designed to facilitate entry to areas smaller companies.
Recently The Ministry of Economy has announced that it plans to special economic zones in 2015. provide for the issuance of permits 217 whose commitment is an investment of 7.7 billion zł. The result should be created approx. 11 thousand. new jobs.
“One of the ideas to be new, in relation to the existing incentives for investors concept of creating areas of investment activity along the expressway in close cooperation with local authorities “- MG wrote in a statement.
Szultka asked about the idea of the Ministry, said that “the devil is in the details.” “In general, it is natural that where improving infrastructure, including communication, these places become more attractive to investors,” – he said.
“The question is what is the purpose of this instrument, because if he is attractive areas in communication and create a new infrastructure that attract investors, it is a good idea. If, however, potentially the best locations are to be promoted further incentives in the form of exemptions tax or other financial incentives it is doubtful. Today this type of locations should defend themselves, “- said the expert.
In response to questions PAP, the Economy Ministry reported that in the coming years, there are no plans to create new zones, and these will be developed around existing and planned expressways. Resort also wants to help small and medium-sized enterprises in accessing the SSE – with them in mind, in cooperation with local governments will be formed Industrial Parks, business incubators and halls for rent. Also be strengthened advisory activities geared to the needs of SMEs.
For the Ministry of zones advantage is the ease of obtaining support and the ability to obtain the maximum allowable aid. MG points out that due to the long lifetime of the zones (up to 2026.), A moderately profitable business will benefit from the maximum aid ceilings.
Each zone has a slightly different areas of activity, adapted to the technical and financial conditions and the needs of investors – explains the ministry. Impact on their operation has as access to infrastructure, customers and skilled workers. Business profile area in a given location is often formed spontaneously – notes the Ministry of Economy. I explained that around a large investor focus its suppliers and collaborators, as well as competitors, because the industrial traditions of the circle (eg. Qualified) and the environment (such as access to raw materials) foster the development of the industry.
Special Economic Zones (SEZ) are areas where investors can conduct business on preferential terms. The aim is to accelerate the development of regions by attracting new investment and promoting job creation. In Poland there are 14 special economic zones.
