Abstract: In a globalized economy, efficient logistics and low transport costs are a significant determinant of a country's competitiveness. Indeed, transport and logistics have a number of direct and indirect links with important economic and social development goals. Reducing the cost and improving the quality of logistics and transport systems creates an integrated and efficient transport network, which improves international market access and leads directly to increased trade. Increasing trade leads to better jobs, higher incomes and poverty reduction, specifically an increase in the per capita real income of a country. Indeed, transport and logistics have direct and indirect links with socioeconomic development.
