Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal Motor Vehicles
Agreement: Facilitating implementation and stakeholder buy-in in the
BBIN sub-region (BBINMVA)
South
Asia is one of the least integrated and connected regions of the
world. Intra-regional trade is around five per cent of the total
trade of South Asian countries. This lack of connectivity and
integration has long been accepted as one of the biggest
contributors to the sub-optimal utilisation of the region’s economic
potential.
