Freeports and investment zones require sustained long-term political commitment to prevent policy uncertainty.
Conclusion
Given the relatively small scale of public investment and the long-term time horizon of potential gains, freeports and investment zones need long-term political commitment by central Government. Cancelling those policies would create policy uncertainty and instability with knock-on impacts on investment confidence. (Paragraph 35) 30 Performance of investment zones and freeports in England
