Issue Brief from South Asia Watch on Trade, Economics and Environment

Abstract: This issue brief, drawing primarily from the World Bank publication “Regional Investment Pioneers in South Asia: The Payoff of Knowing Your Neighbors†and the presentation of its findings delivered in a webinar, focuses on enhancing intraregional investment in South Asia, which is one of the fastest-growing regional economies but also one of the least integrated regions in the world. The brief highlights the challenges and opportunities for intraregional investment and identifies weak knowledge connectivity as a significant barrier to intra-regional investment flows.
