In search of harmony

To increase the speed of connectivity, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India and Nepal have signed a Motor Vehicles Agreement (BBIN MVA). This initiative will integrate the BBIN sub-region by facilitating smooth movement of passenger and commercial vehicles across member countries. CUTS International undertook a series of field surveys to understand the political economic scenario in the BBIN region and its impact on cross-border trade. This Policy Brief identifies several political and procedural issues that may hinder trade and suggested remedial measures that could help to create an enabling environment for the successful implementation of MVA.
