| | LAII: Prospects For Free Zones Under FTAA |
| | Another reason why free trade zones could be strategically important for Latin American countries is that they are countries well known for frequent changes in economic and administrative regulations, consequently making the economic climate very uncertain and risky from a foreign investor's point of view. | | | The role of free trade zones in South America is to provide a bureaucracy-free environment, free trade conditions (duty free machinery, equipment and materials) and stability of the "rules of the game" for investors (both local and foreign) who want to process raw materials for export. | | | Even though international experience shows some unsuccessful free trade zones (especially when the location was poor and the legislation non-competitive) in most cases free trade zones have been successful in reaching the goals set at their creation. |
