Abstract

Translate

Data from fDi Markets shows that in 2024 almost half of all global FDI projects in free zones went to software, IT, and business and financial services, up from 18 per cent a decade earlier. Alongside flexible workplaces and IT infrastructure, the zone offers mentorships, internships and marketing support to companies through its non-profit partner Cayman Enterprise. The commission overseeing PCC's development has also appointed the International Alternative Dispute Resolution Centre in a bid to give legal certainty to investors.
