The National Center for Strategic Planning (Ceplan) announced today that it contributed technical tools and a territorial evaluation methodology to the study "Private Special Economic Zones in Peru: an exploratory analysis of structural factors at the regional level," prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur).
This contribution will provide more evidence for territorial planning, investment promotion, and decision-making related to the country's productive development.
The document examines the main factors that can favor the development of private special economic zones (ZEEP), within the framework of Law 32449 and its regulations.
Its purpose is to offer useful technical information for public entities, investors, and other stakeholders related to regional competitiveness and growth.
Ceplan's participation was carried out through the National Directorate of Foresight and Strategic Studies (DNPE), which contributed to the design of a multi-criteria evaluation methodology.
This approach integrates information on productive potential, logistical infrastructure, institutional environment, and human capital, with the purpose of jointly analyzing the conditions of each region.
Based on this methodology, the ZEEP Potential Index (IPZ) was developed, an exploratory tool that allows for objective comparison of the structural characteristics of regions and identifies those that have more favorable conditions for the development of these economic spaces.
The index was constructed with official indicators and transparent criteria to organize, weigh, and consolidate information. These characteristics facilitate its updating and allow the methodology to be used in future territorial studies.
It also incorporates international experiences on special economic zones, adapted to the reality and needs of the Peruvian territory.
According to the analysis, Lima, Callao, Ica, and Arequipa show the highest levels of structural potential for the development of private special economic zones.
These results respond to the combination of productive capacities, logistical infrastructure, availability of human capital, and favorable institutional conditions.
The study clarifies, however, that the results are exploratory and do not determine the location of future ZEEPs.
Their eventual implementation must consider specific evaluations and the procedures established within the current regulatory framework.
Ceplan's contribution shows the importance of incorporating territorial evidence into public decisions aimed at attracting investments, boosting competitiveness, and generating new development opportunities in the regions.
With this contribution, Ceplan reaffirms its role as a specialized technical body and the governing entity for strategic planning in the country.
It also makes available to the State methodologies and instruments that allow for a better understanding of the characteristics of the territory and the design of public interventions with greater technical support.
The preparation of the study also highlights the importance of coordination among public institutions.
The joint work between Mincetur and Ceplan allowed for the integration of specialized capacities to strengthen the analysis of ZEEPs and their possible contribution to national productive development.
