Antigua and Barbuda Special Economic Zone was introduced to the world in the form of legislation by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, which settled a legal foundation for the long-term development of Antigua and Barbuda Special Economic Zone and ensured a safe operation of the first international special economic zone in Caribbean. The government of Antigua and Barbuda set up a Special Economic Zone to promote and establish self-contained, industrial, commercial and financial corporate offices and business centers, with solid and good infrastructure, to facilitate public and private sector participation in a competitive and attractive environment for the promotion of economic development and the creation of jobs in Antigua and Barbuda.
