Abstract

The paper summarizes the characteristics and evolution trends registered by the most significant free trade areas and tax havens in the period 2020-2021.The paper highlights the special experiences of the free trade areas of Braila (Romania) and the free international port of Giurgiulesti (Republic of Moldova), as well as the creation of a free trade area by the GUAM group (Georgia, Ukraine, Republic of Azerbaijan and the Republic of Moldova). Regarding the tax havens, the paper highlights the legislative effervescence of the European Commission, which in addition to the blacklist of tax havens has adopted a new legislative project that seeks to strengthen the rules against money laundering.
