Expanding Horizons: A Study on the Development of the Indonesia—Malaysia—Thailand
Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) Economic Corridors was initiated by the Asian Development Bank
(ADB) as a first step in implementing a key recommendation of the new Road Map, by
assessing the development prospects of the proposed IMT-GT economic connectivity
corridors. The study is a preliminary assessment of the opportunities, constraints and
challenges to developing the subregion's connectivity and thus strengthening its growth
potential. The focus of this study is, consequently, on identifying the current status of
existing infrastructure assets, potential areas for intervention and other areas where further
research is necessary to fully develop and utilize corridor connectivity.
