ZOLIC (the Santo Tomás de Castilla Free Trade and Industry Zone) operates under Decree 22-73; the 2008 reform (Decree 30-2008) allowed the creation of Public Special Economic Development Zones (ZDEEP) outside its original perimeter. The last sourced count is from Prensa Libre, May 3, 2022: 10 ZDEEP projects - 4 with definitive approval at various stages of operation, 6 in process and 2 under way - and 2,570 direct and indirect jobs. The current count for 2024-2026 has no verifiable source: ZOLIC's pages no longer publish figures.
