THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS

Anatoli Molokovitch

Abstract


In the article some questions of the development of logistics sector in the Republic of Belarus are considered. The favorable geographical position of Belarus determined a rapid development of logistics services in the country. Belarus is interested in growth of transit potential, the increase of accessibility of the remote areas, as well as the major European exporters. The most relevant evidence of this interest is an international project “Amber Coast Logistics“, which is implemented in the framework of “Baltic Sea Region program“ (funded by EU) and aims at increasing the volume of foreign trade in the region. Since the Index of Transit has been developed, the growth of cargo flows was forecasted as a result of the elimination of barriers for development of foreign economic activities in Belarus. The new transport corridors, linking the southern Baltic Sea region with the countries of the Customs Union and Ukraine have been proposed, as well as the new multi-modal transport chains through these corridors, oriented, first of all, to Belarus.
