(=8 to 30% of GDP) • Productivity and Competitiveness • Sustainable growth. • An array of policy interventions: • Infrastructure and planning • Customs Trade facilitation • Regulation of services
Logistics and connectivity crucial to trade competitiveness standardized regression coefficients (betas) of trade costs
Service Delivery performance outcomes Supply Chain Service Delivery Areas for policy regulations (inputs) Time, Cost & Reliability measured in the LPI Customs & Border procedures Timeliness Availability of International Shipments Transport &Telecom Infrastructure Tracking and Tracing Services Quality Time, cost, reliability
