1.3. Policy recommendations
i) Need to develop policies to stimulate the trend of globalisation and logistics
Trends towards globalisation, logistics and the development of ICT, including e-commerce, are
combining to reshape the world’s trading patterns and consequently physical trade flows. Such
restructuring is leading to economic growth, better allocation of resources and above all greater
freedom of choice for consumers. It is evident that policy measures to counteract the dynamics of
logistics and globalisation are simply not an option. In contrast, by providing the underlying
framework to support these developments, governments may achieve an aggregate rise in welfare, as
well as a more equitable spread of welfare.
Therefore, policies for establishing each region as a key component in global logistics networks
need to be developed and implemented. Key issues for establishing such policies include
environmental concerns, strategic use of information technologies including the development of
frameworks that ensure consistency and interoperability in the application of ICT, regulation and
deregulation, customs clearance, efficient logistics pricing, promoting intermodal transport and
development of human resources.
