CUTS Side Event at Sixth Global Review of Aid for Trade

Enhancing Connectivity in the Bay of Bengal Region and Beyond

Tuesday, July 11, 2017 from 13:00 hrs to 14:30 hrs

Room E, WTO Building, Geneva

Colleagues, peers and well-wishers taking part in this Global Review of Aid for Trade are cordially invited to attend this side event.

The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) compromising Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand accounts for 21 per cent of the world population. Though this provides a huge potential for trade, intra-BIMSTEC trade is less than 10 per cent of their total trade.

A key driver of trade-led growth for countries in the Bay of Bengal region lies in their ability to take advantage of economic opportunities presented by their neighbours, in term of regional integration and trade-related infrastructural development.

Therefore, this session at Sixth Global Review of Aid for Trade will discuss existing transport and transit initiatives in Bay of Bengal region and their implications for trade inclusiveness and sustainable development dimensions such as reduction in time and cost of doing trade, employment generation.
