Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority

About Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority

In August 200, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Law was passed by Parliament. The law established the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) as the statutory institution empowered with regulatory, administrative, fiscal and economic responsibilities within ASEZ. ASEZA is a financially and administratively independent authority, acting as the legal heir of both the Aqaba Regional Authority and the Aqaba Municipality. ASEZA strives to create a globally competitive center for tourism and recreational services, hi-tech industry, multi-modal transport, professional services, logistics and value-added services. ASEZA maintains a streamlined investment environment and encourages private sector participation in all aspects of the Zone's development and operations. This ensures the provision of world-class infrastructure and services to Aqaba's investors, residents and visitors.
