The Trans-Caspian Transport Corridor, or Middle Corridor, is gaining significance as a vital trade route between Europe and South Caucasus/Central Asia, offering an alternative to traditional East-West connections. Recent investments in infrastructure aim to boost its growth and efficiency. A recent investors meeting in Tashkent resulted in new investment packages and technical programs, with private operators increasingly viewing this route as a viable option for long-distance freight. The corridors strategic importance is growing for Europe, seeking more resilient trade routes due to long-standing dependencies proving fragile. Freight volumes along the Middle Corridor have multiplied since 2022, with potential to triple by 2030 if critical investment gaps are closed. International financial institutions emphasize the need for coordinated financing to ensure the corridors long-term success and efficiency, as its viability depends on reducing fragmentation in customs procedures and digital systems.
