đź’¬ Replied to: The world's "free trade zones": hives of scum and villainy
“Institutions like the IMF like to encourage poor countries to set up “free trade zones” (AKA “freeports,” “special economic zones,” etc): effectively unregulated…”
Lest we forget, setting up several of these “freeports” is one of the key pillars of the current U.K. governments post-Brexit economic policies. They talk about how it might transform the chosen towns into “the next Singapore” but they never talk about what that actually means. I wonder why 🤔
