A sound policy regime establishes a robust legal and regulatory
framework that spells out the rules of the game for all stakeholders
and mandates a high degree of transparency and accountability.
Ideally, the SEZ authority should enjoy a large measure of autonomy,
with a one-stop service for project proposals and outsourcing
noncore functions. Involving the private sector financially and
managerially, and privileging private zone developers and operators
can reinforce this autonomy.
