Using data from real-time road and rail cargo shipments, the Corridor Performance Measurement and
Monitoring (CPMM) mechanism assesses the efficiency of the six Central Asia Regional Economic
Cooperation (CAREC) transport corridors that link CAREC member countries. It considers travel time and
costs and the ease of crossing borders. Analysis of 2018 CPMM data shows steady average improvement
in speed without delay, largely attributed to infrastructure investment. Delays at the border decreased but
remain a major hindrance to efficient trade. This report informs policymakers about transport and trade
blockages, and aims to help guide infrastructure investment and trade facilitation reform and modernization.
