| description |
Port reforms in Argentina have sought to
deregulate, decentralize, and privatize. And they have
sought to introduce competition not only among ports but
also for the ports --by inviting operators to bid for port
concessions-- and within the ports-- by dividing large ports
into terminals and offering each as a separate concession.
Bidders were asked to set their own charges, subject to a
maximum price cap for cargo, and concessions were awarded on
the basis of the highest rental offered for the
infrastructure and equipment. The results have been
generally positive, with increased productivity, higher
cargo volumes, and big reductions in tariffs. The authors
look at the lessons from the reform and set out the
remaining challenges. |
