莱基自由贸易区—中尼经贸合作区(以下简称“莱基自贸区”)是中尼合资建设的经贸合作区,中方股东为中非莱基投资有限公司,尼方股东为拉各斯州政府。莱基自贸区是中国政府批准并考核确认的国家级境外经贸合作区,也是中国目前在境外最大的经贸合作区。莱基自贸区的总体规划目标是将自贸区建设成一座集生产、生活、休闲和娱乐为一体的现代化综合新城。莱基自贸区已基本实现“五通一平”,配套服务日臻完善,为中国企业到园区投资运营创造了良好的软硬件环境。自贸区招商成果显著,共有116家中外企业在莱基自贸区注册登记,其中50家企业已在园区实际投资和运营。莱基自贸区虽然已初具规模,但仍然面临着区外基础设施配套薄弱、与驻在国合作方地位不对等、融资难、人才短缺、回报慢等问题。中国政府需要在政策引导、资金支持、与援外项目结合等方面继续加大对境外合作区的支持和扶持力度,为企业“走出去”助力。
