Other Key Multilateral Regional Initiatives

1. CARECCentral Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program is a partnership of 11 countries and 6 multilateral development partners. Rail and dry ports are a critical component of the transport infrastructure because of the land-locked nature of the countries.

2. GCCCooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) is a regional intergovernmental political and economic union consisting of all Arab states of the Persian Gulf, except for Iraq. GCC launched common economic projects to promote and facilitate integration including significant investments to create rail networks for transporting freight, connecting cities, and reducing transport times.

3. GMS & ASEANThe Greater Mekong area sub-region covers parts of South East Asia and China. Program of sub-regional cooperation to enhance economic relations with agreements to facilitate trade, such as Cross Border Transport Facilitation, Traffic Right Exchanges

Belt and Road Challenges

GeopoliticalMany countries locate in regions with tensions, disputes and unstable internal political situations.

Increase time for project development & negotiation.

FinancialMany BRI projects are funded by Chinese government subsidized loans and executed by SOEs as contractors.

Private capital will need to be more involved in future projects via PPP models.

Challenging to design PPP models to be attractive for private investors, particularly for infrastructure projects.

OperationalLess established business environment as compared to developed nations.

Unexpected operational risks are a challenge such as timeline control and resources availability

Environmental and SocialMany countries with less stringent environmental and social standards.

Investors and contractors need to observe higher levels of ethics and CSR to effectively protect the natural environment and social & cultural heritage.

Important to create jobs and training opportunities for local people to support sustained development of the communities
