Abstract	The article overviews economic development zones (EDZs) created in the DPRK before and after 2013 when the new law was passed. There are 25 zones of various types (industrial, agricultural, high-tech and tourism development zones, export processing zones and comprehensive zones) that have been created since 1991; however, only part of this zones are currently functioning. Policy situation in the region and the DPRK’s denuclearization fully determine foreign investment in EDZs and the future of these projects.
