巴基斯坦(瓜达尔港)港务局表示,将把瓜达尔港2000亩土地,长期租赁给中方,用于建设(瓜达尔港)首个经济特区。分析指,瓜港首个经济特区的建立,不但能对巴基斯坦的经济发展模式,产生示范作用,还能进一步提振经济水平。
据了解,瓜达尔港务局于今年6月完成了1500亩土地的征收工作,另外500亩的征收工作也将很快完成,所征土地主要来自巴基斯坦海军和俾路支省政府紧邻规划的集装箱货堆区,该经济特区相关基础设施建设预计耗资3500万美元。瓜港务局表示,目前已将这2000亩地租赁给中国,中方将享有43年的租赁权。巴基斯坦前驻华大使马苏德·汗表示,这对提振巴基斯坦经济大有助益:“我认为巴基斯坦所能获得的最大益处主要还是在于经济互通领域”。
为了鼓励国内外投资者到经济特区投资,巴政府特别针对能源、税制等国内投资短板,专门为投资者出台了利好政策来鼓励投资。这些举措包括三个方面,一是保障能源,即保障经济特区的电力和天然气供应方面享有优先权;二是减免税收,即为经济特区投资的企业提供为期10年的税收假期,并为企业有关生产设备的进口给予免关税待遇;三是一站式服务,即为有意投资经济特区的投资者提供一站式快捷服务,包括向投资者提供有关优惠政策的详尽资讯。马苏德·汗还指出,为了让巴基斯坦从投资中受益,巴政府尽可能提供了各种优惠政策:“(由于)巴基斯坦想从中获益,为此做了大量力所能及的工作”。
巴政府高度重视瓜港经济特区建设,将其视为现代化港口的“标配”,期待其能够最大化利用瓜港深水良港的自然禀赋,吸引国内外投资者建立生产、组装以及加工企业。为鼓励投资,巴方还开出了20年免税的优惠条件。(中国进出口网)
