CPEC & Gwadar – FAQs
China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an economic and development initiative between China and Pakistan covering infrastructure, energy, industrial, agricultural, science and information technology cooperation along with Gwadar port and city development and people to people exchanges aimed at socio-economic development and prosperity of not only Pakistan and China but the whole region.

Special Economic Zone or SEZ means a geographically defined and delimited area which has been approved by the Board of Approvals headed by the Prime Minister. The SEZ Act was promulgated on September 13, 2012 and amended in 2016. The law provides SEZs to be set up by the Federal or Provincial Governments themselves or in collaboration with the private sector under different modes of public-private partnership or exclusively through the private sector. The provincial SEZ authorities are required to move the applications received from developers to the Federal Board of Investment which is to act as the secretariat to the Approval committee and the Board of Approval. Minimum land requirement for an SEZ is 50 acres (20.23 hectors or 202,343 Sq m) with no maximum limit.
Pakistan and China have finalized nine SEZs to be developed in the first phase under the auspices of CPEC. Four SEZs, namely Dhabeji SEZ in Sindh, Bostan SEZ in Balochistan, Rashakai SEZ in KP and Allama Iqbal Industrial City in Punjab, are at advanced stage of development. Moqpondass SEZ in Gilgit Baltistan, Mirpur SEZ in AJK, Mohmand Marble City in FATA, and two Federal SEZs namely Industrial Park on Pakistan Steel Mill land and ICT Model Industrial Zone are at the feasibility stage.
The fiscal benefits under the SEZ law include a one-time exemption from custom duties and taxes for all capital goods imported into Pakistan for the development, operations and maintenance of a SEZ (both for the developer as well as for the zone enterprise) and exemption from all taxes on income for a period of ten years.
Four out of total nine agreed SEZs under CPEC are being developed at the priority. Allama Iqbal Industrial City and Rashakai SEZs are leading in development works and allotments of industrial plots with many industrial units being under construction. We also have some foreign investments in these SEZs especially from China.
China has advantages in experience, technology, financing, and industrial capacity, while Pakistan enjoys favourable conditions in natural resources, adequate manpower, quality infrastructure, access to international markets, and optimal policies for industrial development. The economic interests of the two countries coincide in a quintessential manner under the Framework Agreement on Industrial Cooperation that will go a long way. Pakistan envisages to provide a favourable business environment that will bring the Chinese Outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI) as well as FDI from other third party countries. This will result in the enhancement of industrial competitiveness, technology transfer, import substitution, export-led growth, human capital development, employment generation, and numerous other direct and indirect benefits to the economy.
