GMS Economic Corridors Forum



The six countries in the Greater Mekong Subregion formed the Economic Corridors Forum (ECF) in 2008 to bolster efforts to transform transport corridors into economic corridors, and connect dynamic hubs of economic activity. It serves as a single body focusing on economic corridor development and helps improve interaction between the public and private sectors, and between central and local governments.
