Yesterday, the President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, signed the decrees that created Mexico’s Special Economic Zones (SEZ), which was published this Friday (September 29, 2017) in the Official Gazette.
The first three SEZs will be located at Lázaro Cardenas-Unión (State of Michoacán and Guerrero), Puerto Chiapas (State of Chiapas), and Coatzacoalcos (State of Veracruz), where investors will benefit from tax, business, and trade facilitation measures and incentives. These decrees contain the details of this new and aggressive economic policy that seeks to attract investment.
