This report presents the findings of the assessment of the Myanmar component of the Greater Mekong Subregion economic corridors. It is part of the Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors package, which consists of six country reports and an integrative report prepared by a study team led by the Asian Development Bank, which serves as the GMS Secretariat.

Economic corridors are geographically defined areas that facilitate the national and transnational movement of people, goods, services, capital, and information. They are key to promoting economic integration in the subregion. The East–West Economic Corridor, North–South Economic Corridor, and Southern Economic Corridor have been designated as flagships of the GMS Economic Cooperation Program.

This assessment report focuses on (i) the status and physical condition of transport infrastructure and cross-border facilities, with emphasis on road transport; (ii) cross-border transport and trade; and (iii) economic potential (special economic zones, tourist attractions, and investment opportunities along and around the economic corridors). The observations regarding the physical condition of the roads in the GMS economic corridors in Myanmar are based on the field survey conducted in June 2017.
