About Centre for Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Subregional Cooperation (CIMT)

The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) is a subregional cooperation initiative formed in 1993 by the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand to accelerate economic transformation in less developed provinces.

Since it's formation, the IMT-GT has grown in geographic scope and activities to encompass more than 90 million people. It is now composed of 14 provinces in southern Thailand, 11 states of Peninsular Malaysia, and the 10 provinces of Sumatra in Indonesia.

IMT-GT provides a sub-regional framework for accelerating economic cooperation and integration of the member states and provinces in the three countries. It promotes private-sector led economic growth and facilitates the development of the sub-region as a whole by exploiting the underlying complementarities and comparative advantages of the member countries.
