World Bank client countries have faced difficulty finding the issues that hinder them from improving logistics competence. Therefore, it is beneficial to understand how the logistics service industry is regulated and what should be addressed in building the regulatory framework to improve logistics competence. This note proposes questions to be addressed for beneficial regulations by reviewing existing logistics service regulations in 14 countries, particularly regulations for the freight forwarding industry. These questions will help in assessing a regulatory framework and identifying regulatory weaknesses. This note suggests that the regulatory framework should take into consideration national recognition of freight forwarding business, an institutional arrangement with clear division of responsibility among stakeholders, and streamlined but flexible regulations adapted to the country context. 2015-09-23T16:08:09Z 2015-09-23T16:08:09Z 2015-08 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/08/24935014/review-logistics-service-regulations-freight-forwarding-businesses-addressed-better-logistics-regulatory-framework http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22658 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7401 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
