Greater Mekong Subregion–Phnom Penh Plan for Development Management
.....
Since the 1990s, the PRC has adjusted its investment incentive policies to attract FDI. Different investment incentive policies have come into force to speed up industrial development. In the process, the establishment of economic development zones in the border areas has played an important role in facilitating trade and the development of manufacturing. However, it is still far from achieving the goal of transforming the southwestern border areas of the PRC into a subregional industrial base centered on processing trade. The expected goal of developing industries based on local resources has not been met yet, and so far only few relatively small-scale industrial projects have been introduced into the economic development zone along the border of Yunnan Province.
It is necessary to assess the effects of current investment incentive policies in border areas. Although there are diverse and multilevel investment incentive policies, they play a limited role in attracting investments to the region. It is also generally the case that neither administrative authorities nor policy researchers assess the effects and, especially, the suitability of investment incentive policies. Thus, it is difficult to know how to improve these policies. The 2008 financial crisis has attached greater importance to subregional international economic cooperation; and the PRC government’s great efforts in building CBEZs, under the policy of opening up to border countries, further highlighting the strategic significance of studying and redesigning existing policies to stimulate investments.
