Royal Decree No. 38/2025—issued April 7, 2025, and effective on its publication in the official gazette on April 13, 2025—promulgates the new law for the special economic zones (SEZs) and free zones (FZs).

The new law replaces the law previously issued under RD 56/2002 for FZs and under RD 119/2011 for Duqm SEZs, and aims to enhance legal certainty, streamline licensing, and administrative procedures.

The executive regulations under the new law, which will provide further guidance on operational implementation, are expected to be issued within one year.
