History
In August 2000, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Law was passed by Parliament. The law established the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Authority (ASEZA) as the statutory institution empowered with regulatory, administrative, fiscal and economic responsibilities within ASEZ. ASEZA is a financially and administratively independent authority, acting as the legal heir of both the Aqaba Regional Authority and the Aqaba Municipality.
The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority Law simplifies all procedures, licenses and approvals enabling the Authority - from one single location in Aqaba - to facilitate investors to set up and operate a business.
The ASEZA is governed by six ministerial-level Commissioners, each responsible for a major area of regulatory or operational activity.
