What are Freeports?
Freeports operate as secure customs zones, usually located at ports or airports, where business can be carried out inside a country’s land border, but where different customs rules apply.
Countries around the world had adapted this basic model by adding different elements to create their own bespoke Freeports based on the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) concept. Each combines a mixture of customs flexibilities, to provide relief from duties, import taxes and administrative burdens; tax measures to incentivise private investment; regulatory flexibilities; and investment in infrastructure, all concentrated in the geographical area around the Freeport.
The UK Government has opted for a bespoke Freeport model which aims to achieve three objectives:
- To establish Freeports as national hubs for global trade and investment across the UK
- To promote regeneration and job creation
- To create hotbeds for innovation
- The successful Freeport bids in England are East Midlands Airport, Felixstowe & Harwich, Humber, Liverpool City Region, Plymouth & South Devon, Solent, Thames and Teesside.
Conclusion:
The free ports and investment Zones, regulations and tax incentives which will come with them. We look forward to the tax measures (time limited) for companies . It has been prefential free trade areas or zones which have made cities/states like Dubai (UAE), Singapore 🇸🇬 and Mauritius 🇲🇺 trading giants. The United Kingdom has historically grown to be a global power due to trade, which it needed to protect using its Navy, which enabled it to become a great Global power.
The UK under the leadership of His Majesty King Charles III is likely to develop and strengthen relationships of trade and finance amoung Commonwealth countries. The ties of the British Crown with the Commonwealth was emphasised during the the Funeral of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The free trade agreements with Commonwealth countries should be aggregated into a Commonwealth wide Free Trade Common market.
Why the UK is a great Investment destination
The Sterling pound is currently weak against the US Dollar and other global currencies. So invest in the UK now.
● Once the francked oil and gas sites are operational once again (previously banned) and the 100 new Oil and gas licensees start producing, the balance of payments dynamics will change and the profits of the Oil and gas companies will remain in the UK. This will significantly strengthen the Sterling Pound. ● The UK financial services sector will be deregulated from EU financial services constraints, making London once again the most competitive Global financial centre. ● The UK has one of the most favorable tax rates of the developed world 19% . And Dividend to foreign resident individuals and companies are tax free. ●The Freeports and Investment zones are going to increase the value of goods and services produced or traded in the UK. Hence, the GDP will increase significantly. ● The post brexit freetrade agreements signed with Commonwealth countries like 🇰🇪 Kenya and other East African community countries, will increase intra-commonwealth trade.

My sincere hope would be that the entire Commonwealth becomes a free trade area or common market.
These are great opposrtunities for the business community in the UK. I believe we as humans need positive reinforcement to change behaviour. We need more businesses to enable more of our people have jobs. These measures will create a positive virtuous circle 🔵 leading to Growth of the UK economy. The GBP will become more competitive as our balance of payments position will improve. I have a feeling 😕 we will have a more productive and prosperous United Kingdom. I pray for a golden era under the Golden Lady Liz Truss.
