This paper has provided an overview of the logistics capability of key GMS Economic Corridors through
the exploration of barriers to the free flow of freight, vehicles, people and information along each
corridor. The physical route is currently completed but the supporting and administrative procedures
are still lacking. Each GMS country is still at a relatively early stage in term of logistics development
based on the four logistics dimensions. The GMS infrastructure is more or less completed but many of
the border facilities are still insufficient and inefficient.
From the findings, trans-loading and border crossing still remain barriers to the seamless movement of
freight, people and vehicles within the GMS. This is because ADB-led trade and transport facilitation
measures have yet to be fully implemented by the member countries. The weakest link in the various
economic corridors still remains the border crossing.
