In recent years the South Asian region has emerged as the fastest growing region in the world. However, intraregional trade has lagged behind the region's deepening engagement in global trade with the effects of geopolitics and a legacy of mistrust leaving a mark on integration efforts. The current study focuses on SAARC economies to examine the impact of trade agreements on the basis of data for fifteen years i.e. from 2000 to 2015. The emphasis is on understanding the level of intraregional trade, issues, and challenges of the region and in conclusion, policy measures have been suggested to improve the integration of the region.
