This document has been produced by the
 World Bank to support the Government of Guatemala as it
 improves its transport and logistics sector management in
 pursuit of enhanced country competitiveness. It identifies
 and defines elements of a National Transport and Logistics
 Strategy (NTLS) through the development of a methodology
 which analyzes bottlenecks and related costs along the main
 logistics corridors. It does so with a view to (a)
 mobilizing support in the trading community (essentially
 private sector) for logistic service improvements, (b)
 identifying the need for broader public-sector reforms in
 transport which indirectly impact logistics performance, and
 (c) helping the Government to set sector priorities and
 hence to prioritize public investment. At the same time, it
 points out where improved data and monitoring of performance
 are needed in order to better quantify economic costs,
 diagnose key logistics issues, and track improved
 performance. It thereby proposes, as part of the set of
 recommended activities, to build the Government of
 Guatemala s capacity to measure performance and take action.
 While the document is based on sound analysis of some
 aspects of the country s logistics system, it must be
 considered primarily a starting point which is subject to
 broad country dissemination and debate by public and private stakeholders.Date

Railway Reform in South East Europe and Turkey : On the Right Track?Monsalve, Carolina (World Bank, 2011-03-01)The railways of South East Europe and
 Turkey experienced significant declines in traffic volumes
 in 2009. This reflected the impact of the international
 financial crisis unleashed in the last quarter of 2008 and
 its contractionary impact on the economies of the region and
 elsewhere. Lower traffic volumes translated in most cases
 into a serious deterioration of the financial performance of
 the state-owned railways. This brought home the costs of
 failing to implement essential reforms to improve the
 operational and financial performance of the sector when the
 economy was strong. In Romania in 2010, large-scale layoffs
 were announced at short notice for the state rail companies.
 The situation is similar for the Bulgarian state rail
 incumbents; they face an acute liquidity crisis, and will
 require additional state aid merely to keep running. The
 lesson of these events is clear: it is unwise to delay
 implementing state railway sector reforms during good
 economic times, because the consequences can be too severe
 if a financial downturn occurs before those reforms have
 been taken and properly implemented. This report begins by
 assessing implementation of the European Union (EU) legal
 and institutional framework and the state of institutional
 reform in South East Europe and Turkey. It then turns to a
 comparative assessment of the operational and financial
 performance of the rail sector in each of the 10 countries
 over 2005-2009, comparing the report countries with the
 EU-27 benchmark and three EU countries, Germany, Poland, and
 Slovenia. The report then moves on to the issue of rail
 corridor performance, with a specific focus on improving the
 institutional and regulatory environment at border-crossing
 points, before offering some conclusions. The first annex
 focuses on the performance of the incumbent state-owned
 railways of South East Europe and Turkey in much greater detail.

Improving Trade and Transport for Landlocked Developing CountriesUN-OHRLLS; World Bank Group (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2015-04-28)Landlocked developing countries (LLDCs) are completely dependent on their transit neighbors infrastructure and administrative procedures to transport their goods to port. This publication provides a comprehensive ten-year review in order to assess the progress made in improving access of LLDCs to global markets, identify the remaining challenges faced by LLDCs, and present improved and innovative ways to overcome them. This publication is based on the practical knowledge from implementing the Almaty Program policies, shared by both of our institutions. It provides a snapshot of the economic trends in LLDCs, with regard to trade costs, connectivity constraints and trade diversification. It reviews the key access policies in the Almaty Program of Action framework that include infrastructure, transport and logistics services, regional integration, trade and transit facilitation. It combines data and substantial feedback from implemented projects and policy changes. The focus of the document is general in scope and does not include detailed economic or policy analysis of all the potential components of reforms. The publication is organized as follows: Chapter1: Economics of Landlockedness; Chapter 2: Connectivity Constraints; Chapter 3: Hinterland Connections; Chapter 4: Transit and Trade Facilitation, Regional Integration; Chapter 5: Physical Connectivity, Corridors. This document is based primarily on the experience of project implementation by the World Bank, and on analytical work on trade corridors and LLDCs, including reports and presentations on progress in implementing the Almaty Program of Action.
