| description |
Based on a detailed empirical study,
this paper argues that regional liberalization of trucking
services has had an important effect on transport costs and
tariffs for Zambia's economy. Zambia is a peculiar
example in Southern Africa as it benefits from relatively
low transport costs compared with other landlocked countries
in Africa. This is mainly because of competition between
Zambian and other regional, mainly South African, operators
and because of South African investments in Zambia's
trucking industry. As a result, the costs of operators
registered in Zambia and South Africa are similar. The
study also demonstrates that enhancing trucking
interoperability in Southern Africa would significantly
impact positively the Zambian trucking industry's
competitiveness. The main measures to significantly increase
trucking competitiveness in the region would more likely
derive from reducing fuel costs in Zambia, improving
border-post operations, and relaxing South African truck
import rules. |
