    <jats:abstract>
     <jats:p>This study investigates the systemic barriers hindering regional economic integration and their implications for broader regional growth. Focusing on qualitative analysis of policy reports, trade data, and regional agreements, it identifies key challenges such as political instability, security concerns, inadequate infrastructure, restrictive trade policies, and weak financial systems that limit effective integration and regional development. The research highlights how insecurity and governance issues deter foreign investment and trade partnerships, while underdeveloped transport and energy networks obstruct connectivity among neighbouring countries. Furthermore, complex trade regulations and limited access to international finance restrict economic cooperation and growth potential. The findings underscore the critical importance of promoting political stability, simplifying trade regulations, and strengthening financial systems to enhance regional integration. Collaborative efforts in infrastructure development and transit facilitation, coupled with international support for institutional reforms, are essential to overcoming these barriers. Such measures will not only facilitate seamless economic integration but also contribute to sustainable regional growth and stability.</jats:p>
