Every long journey, it is said, begins with a first step. Enhancing regional
infrastructure connectivity in IMT-GT through development of the proposed economic
connectivity corridors is an ambitious undertaking, which will require a long time horizon,
large amounts of public and private resources and most importantly, political commitment
and open minds. This study recognizes it is only a first step in a long road ahead. Not
surprisingly, it raises more questions and areas of future enquiry than answers, but if in
doing so, it contributes to greater stakeholder focus and policy dialog on developing IMTGT
regional economic connectivity, it will have more than achieved its modest ambitions.
