Analysis in the Special Economic Zones as a Strategy to Promote Economic Growth in Peru

Abstract

In a globalized and competitive world, countries seek new strategies and policies to boost their economic development. The Special Economic Zones (ZEE) have emerged as one of the most used tools to encourage foreign investment, promote industrialization and stimulate economic growth. In the case of Peru, the SEZs is considered a key strategy to boost its economy and increase its competitiveness in the international context. However, it is essential to address the challenges for its development. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the approach of the Special Economic Zones (ZEE) as a strategy to promote economic growth in Peru using the MOORA method. During the analysis, difficulties were identified in legal aspects, inter-institutional coordination, inclusion of local actors, economic diversification, environmental sustainability, and international promotion. Strategies such as a clear legal framework, better coordination, local participation, economic diversification, sustainability and international promotion were proposed. In conclusion, the need to address the challenges and obstacles of SEZs in Peru through specific strategies and academic projects was highlighted. The collaboration between actors and the comprehensive implementation of these measures promotes the potential of SEZs and sustainable economic growth.
