collective services like food service and dormitories. His only obligations
are to supply water and electricity and provide a dry container port at a
convenient distance from the zone. Once a zone is equipped with these
basic necessities, investors may benefit from significant tax incentives.
This explains why the council that oversees the zones created fourteen
zones (although, in reality, only five actually are functional (because
“developers” have not yet been found for the nine remaining zones).
The zones are located near large labor pools like Phnom Penh or near
major transportation axes—either maritime (for the Sihanoukville zones
on the Cambodian Sea, or the Bavet zones on the Vietnamese border),
or overland (towards Thailand, for the Poi Pet zone). As the table
below illustrates, a total of about 68,000 jobs were created in 2014 in
Cambodia’s zones, with the largest number along the Vietnamese
border.
