Практика функционирования СЭЗ в Китае и других странах подтверждает, что они
позволяют в короткие сроки добиваться устойчивых темпов экономического роста, привлечения
больших иностранных инвестиций, повышения занятости и уровня жизни населения,
т. е., как отмечают китайские специалисты, применения новой экономической
модели XXI в.
Но, естественно, СЭЗ не являются панацеей от решения глобальных экономических
проблем. Как для промышленно развитых, так и для развивающихся стран они выполняют
строго определенные задачи. Кроме того, их организация требует существенных затрат.
Например, для привлечения иностранных инвестиций страна в среднем первоначально
затрачивает четыре своих дол. на один зарубежный дол. Следует отметить немало примеров
неудачного функционирования или даже закрытия СЭЗ. Так, создание в Шри-Ланке,
Гватемале, Либерии, Сенегале и некоторых других странах разного рода экономических
зон не дало заметного эффекта. Причины: общая политическая нестабильность, чрезмерно
усложненное, с точки зрения инвестора, законодательство, бюрократическая и коррупционная
среда. Россия, к сожалению, также может быть отнесена к числу неудачников
по эффективности СЭЗ.

The setting up of free economic zones is often considered by their founders (учредители) as a
method of realizing the principles of open economy.
One of the reasons for establishing free economic zones is that a nation does not want to open
completely its economy for the inflow of foreign capital and therefore uses special zones for it.
As we can see, there is a great variety of free economic zones in the world.
1. Do the developed and developing countries pursue the same aims when establishing free economic
zones?
2. In what cases are technology introduction zones set up? Give a few examples of their operation.
3. What requirements shall a company follow when registered in the offshore zone? What is the

TNCs. Tell your partner about it.

22.4. Basic Text. Modern Industrial Globalization
In the middle of the 1990s there were about 40,000 transnational corporations (TNCs) in the
world. They controlled 250,000 subsidiary enterprises outside their countries of origin. Over the
last 20 years their number has increased many times.
A considerable part of the assets (about 40 per cent of the total cost) of a hundred largest
international companies is based on the territories of foreign states. The main part of TNCs is
concentrated in the US, countries of the European Union, and Japan. TNCs account for about
40 per cent of industrial production in the world, and half the international trade. Their volume
of production exceeds $1 trillion annually. Seventy three million people are employed in
TNCs.
320
What companies do we refer to TNCs? The United Nations experts referred to TNCs the companies
which have their branches in not fewer than six countries and an annual turnover exceeding
$100 million. Lately, an additional indicator — the percentage value of the production sales outside
the national boundaries — has been introduced. By this indicator the Swiss firm Nestle (98 per
cent) is one of the world leaders.
According to the UN methodology, the structure of the assets is a typical characteristic of the
TNC. The largest foreign assets among TNCs (except the financial sector) belong to the British-
Dutch concern Royal Dutch Shell and four American corporations. These are Ford, General Motors,
Exon, and IBM. Among the giants are also the German BMW and the Swiss-Swedish ABB.
