More than 100 companies have invested in the country’s 10 special and specific economic zones (SEZs), with the value amounting to over US billion, creating about 8,000 jobs. Deputy Minister and Vice President of the Lao National Committee for Special Economic Zones, Madame Bouatha Khattiya, said SEZ development and management is new in Laos and an SEZ development model is still lacking so the relevant sectors need to ensure that SEZ development is based on a sound strategy from now until 2020.
The developers of the 10 SEZs initially required more than US billion to install the necessary infrastructure to accommodate the inflow of investment.,
