8 Transport and Competitiveness Transport Performance Indicator Audit report: Gap analysis results Provides theoretical background and assesses the existing practices used for benchmarking. Covers private and public sector, academic and non-academic methodologies. Identifies gaps in the existing literature. Indicators based on conclusion 5-9 in part II Mathematical model that reduces the dimensions.

9 TPI: benefits for Governments Harmonized information, description, and consensus, Scientifically based methodology which will assess supply chain challenges for transport with the possibility to: Assess transport s contribution to national competitiveness, Understand its role in global supply chains, Develop an integrated strategy for national supply chain market, Assess and provide results integrating different transport modes, Provide analytical tools to be used for further analysis (ex: assess country s capacity as logistics or transit hub; benchmark country with other countries using same and objective parameters) Assess the degree of technology penetration in transportation networks and supply chain markets, Assess capacity of different supply chain sub-markets (knowledge of cargoes, transit limits) 9Slide 9

10 Common heritage: Silk Road What has the Silk Road taught us? Past: Costly and time consuming B/Cs and transit Not always Rule of law strong leadership Passable roads and the Caravan Serai services Today: competitive logistics services Growing commitment for change Slide 10

11 Options for increasing competitiveness Continue the current path Instruments in place Investment plans in place Progressive improvement Big Bang change Seamless border crossings, efficient transit Real-time procedures thanks to e-docs High quality services in logistics centers along the whole route Slide 11

12 DO WE HAVE TIME TO WAIT FOR PROGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT? Slide 12

13 Central Asia: land bridge between Europe and Asia Old and new competition with the maritime sector Slide 13

14 Big Bang or progressive Uzbekistan Vision for 2030 Integrate with the multilateral legal framework eg e-cmr, unified railway law Improve B/C and transit performance Decrease behind the border barriers Continue investments in infrastructure (EATL) Slide 14
