Special Economic Zones Under CPEC
In the 6th meeting of the Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC), held in December 2016, nine (09) sites across Pakistan were identified for development of SEZs.

Impact Of Industrial Cooperation Under CPEC
- Industrial Cooperation in the second phase of CPEC would pave way for the transfer of technology and export-led labor-intensive industrialization
- During the first phase, Pakistan witnessed an immense contribution of CPEC to the country’s energy portfolio
- Establishment of special economic zone (SEZs) under CPEC would ensure optimal utilization of Pakistan’s potential in natural resources and improve Sino-Pakistan business linkages
- Development of industrial cluster under CPEC would transform Pakistan’s economy by not only curbing its current account deficit and trade deficit, but also by ensuring a sustainable long-term growth
- SEZs have the potential to take CPEC’s benefits to less developed regions of the country and accelerate socio-economic development
