Five sectors: high-tech industry, R&D, education, business services and information technology play the main role in building of the new economy, this is of course due to investments. For developing countries, the main way to attract investors is to a establish special economic zone. The author of the article explores the idea whether investments in SEZ can be a basis for stable long term GDP growth.
