Corridors are transport routes around roads, railways and waterways linking production zones, cities, countries and ports. They are where free trade agreements are actually implemented and offer the backbone of regional integration by connecting markets and facilitating trade between countries. They can help goods move faster – and cheaper – across borders, and are particularly important for landlocked countries that rely on access to seaports. Corridors also offer the potential to promote investment and create jobs. Currently, trade policies are often inconsistently applied along corridors, while there are increasing opportunities to apply technology to facilitate trade.
