Savan-Seno Special Economic Zone was established in 2003. The site begins about two kilometers away from the Second Friendship Bridge and stretches eastward along the EWEC. Companies operating in the special zone receive special tax rates and other incentives. Many global companies, including Nikon and Toyota of Japan have set up their plants in the zone.<\/p>\n
