Abstract

Diversification of transport and trade routes has been the key element of the CAREC Program since its inception in 2001. For this purpose, the concept of six CAREC corridors has been developed.1 The purpose of these corridors is to provide connectivity within and outside the CAREC region in various directions and to expand the economies’ access to new markets. The demand for such diversification in CAREC economies has been greatly amplified by ecent external shocks, which have affected the traditional CAREC transport and transit routes crossing Russian territory. The CAREC Corridor 2, which largely coincides with what is called the Middle Corridor, provides the only feasible alternative to these traditional routes. For this reason, this corridor has attracted a lot of attention from the CAREC governments and development partners.
