China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone
The China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone was inaugurated in April 2017. Covering 120 square kilometers, the zone has three areas in Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang. It is also home to nine special customs supervision zones – Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone, Central Plains International Land Port, Zhengdong New Area Financial Hub, Zhengzhou Xinzheng Comprehensive Bonded Zone, Zhengzhou Export-oriented Processing Zone, Henan Bonded Logistics Center, Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, Luoyang Economic and Technological Development Zone, and Kaifeng Economic and Technological Development Zone.
Since the China (Henan) Pilot Free Trade Zone was established, a group of world-renowned companies have landed their regional headquarters, production bases, and software centers here, attracted by the innovative local policies and services catering to industrial chains and enterprises' concerns. Leading and distinctive industries are beginning to gather in the zone. By the end of 2022, 121,000 businesses had been established here, and its cargo import and export had grown by 23.8 percent annually on average. The zone was home to 16 percent of the foreign enterprises newly founded in Henan and produced 7 percent of the province's taxation and import and export.
In February 2023, a Version 2.0 plan on the zone's development was released by the provincial government, which aimed to enhance Henan's special strengths through institutional opening up and collaborative innovation.
