Showing Results for: CAREC Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring

This publication presents the analysis of data on the efficiency of the six Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) transport corridors as part of the 2019 Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM).

This report analyzes 2018 data from the Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM) mechanism that assesses the efficiency of the six CAREC transport corridors.

Using data gathered from real-time road and rail cargo shipments, the corridor performance measurement and monitoring (CPMM) mechanism monitors and assesses the efficiency of the six CAREC transport corridors that link the 11 CAREC country members—Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, the People’s Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It shows where shipments are moving faster along the corridors and helping business do better, while also pinpointing where delays and blockages are hindering rapid and cost-effective trade

Since 2009, CAREC Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM) captures trade facilitation indicators to assess the efficiency of transport and border-crossing points across CAREC corridors. Based on trip samples submitted by participating carrier and forwarder associations from CAREC countries, CPMM analyzes the relative performance of each CAREC corridor using time/cost-distance methodology and identifies the bottlenecks and constraints in the movement of goods across the region. In 2016, customs clearance and loading/unloading fees remain costly for trucks as transloading, customs, and commercial inspections for trains. Declining fuel prices, prompted a price competition between transport operators resulting in lower transport costs.

This report is based on trip samples submitted by national transport associations from CAREC member countries that include performance metrics on cargo transport in the region. The data are then aggregated to show the relative performance of each CAREC corridor.

This report describes how CAREC corridor performance measurement and monitoring (CPMM) helps to achieve the objectives of the CAREC Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy and its Implementation Action Plan.

Based on data submitted by national transport associations from CAREC member countries and using time-cost-distance methodology, the report focuses on measuring time and costs incurred in transporting various types of goods across Central Asia.

The report provides valuable statistical data to evaluate freight flows and costs along the six CAREC transport corridors. Adopted in 2007 as part of CAREC’s Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy, CPMM supports policy reforms to improve transport links and facilitate trade between CAREC member countries
