What about Aqaba?

Many believe that the storm of criticism directed at the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) and the ASEZ Authority (ASEZA) was only recently brewed. This is far from the truth, as the negations and accusations in addition to non-belief in its concept and merit have by now spanned over two decades. Moreover, not all the blame rests with ASEZA, a sizeable portion of it should engulf the sphere of public policy in Jordan. 
ASEZ, an area of 375km², was started as a beacon of best practice whose policies; its practices and institutions should have been a guiding light for the rest of Jordan. It was within ASEZ that reduced red tape and taxes and fees on production and consumption should have proven so successful that the rest of the country would follow. Yet, and from inception, doubters complained that the reduced customs, fees and taxes would negatively affect the income of the central government, and, thus, they started to invent other fees and ways to counter what they believed was a negative, not a positive, impact; and, in many respects, they succeeded over the years to ultimately weaken the concept of ASEZ.
