Priority Areas

The CAREC Program invests in four priority areas—transport, trade facilitation, trade policy, and energy.



The CAREC Program helps Central Asia and its neighbors realize their significant potential by promoting regional cooperation in four priority areas.

Transport

CAREC develops and upgrades key transport corridors connecting Central Asia's major economic centers, and linking the region to large and dynamic markets across Eurasia.

Trade Facilitation

CAREC smooths the way for trade by improving customs cooperation, simplifying trade procedures, expanding data-sharing arrangements, and promoting joint customs control at key border points.

Trade Policy

CAREC pursues concrete policy actions to support countries' efforts to join the World Trade Organization and increase trade openness in the region to stimulate growth and development.

Energy

CAREC harnesses the region's immense energy potential by supporting balanced development of infrastructure and institutions, stronger integration of energy markets, and growth though energy trade.
