  • Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network
    Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Economic corridors are anchored on transport corridors, and international experience suggests that the higher the level of connectivity within and across countries, the higher the level of economic growth. In this paper, a new set of corridors is being proposed for Bangladesh—a nine-corridor comprehensive integrated multimodal economic corridor network resembling the London Tube map. This paper presents the initial results of the research undertaken as an early step of that development effort. It recommends an integrated approach to developing economic corridors in Bangladesh that would provide a strong economic foundation for the construction of world-class infrastructure that, in turn, could support the growth of local enterprises and attract foreign investment. About the Asian Development Bank COnnecTING BANGLADESH: ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, NETWORK and technical assistance. Mohuiddin Alamgir
