| description |
Globalization has brought about a rapid
expansion of international trade and a dramatic change in
trade structure. The liberalization of trade in goods and
services, containerization, new integrated transport
networks, advances in information communication technology
and modern business logistics have created unprecedented
business opportunities for the trade and transport
industries, as firms increasingly rely on global supply
chains for production and distribution. In response to the
government's request, this study assesses
Uruguay's potential as a logistics hub and as a
regional distribution center. The competitiveness of
Uruguay's logistics system is assessed from an
international perspective and policy recommendations towards
further efficiency gains are provided. The study focuses on
policies related to enhancing domestic and regional trade
facilitation and assesses the wider economic impact of such
reforms on logistics costs and trade. |
