South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation: Trade Facilitation Strategic Framework 2014-2018
Asian Development Bank | June 2014
Abstract
The goal for the trade facilitation sector for the period 2014–2018 is to increase intraregional trade through increased intraregional trade facilitation efficiency and a reduction of the time and costs to trade. The overall strategy is to elevate the practice and processes of border clearance to international standards and international best practices, including through automation. While trade facilitation is now taking a high priority at the national level, regional cooperation will further complement national action through the sharing of information and experience, and promoting joint and coordinated action.
