This report presents the performance of road and rail transport in 2020 in the 11 countries that make up the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC). Using data from real-time road and rail cargo shipments, it employs the Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring model to assess the efficiency of the six CAREC transport corridors that link country members. It shows where shipments move faster to help businesses do better and pinpoints delays and blockages that hinder rapid and cost-effective trade; provides country- and corridor-specific snapshots, and key recommendations to improve the efficiency of trade along CAREC corridors; informs national policy-making bodies on transport and trade blockages; and helps guide infrastructure investment and trade facilitation reform and modernization. This edition also contains a special case study on the impact of the coronavirus disease on the region.
