  • Freight Transport and Logistics Statistics Yearbook: 2012-2014
    Dataset

    By Transport Division (VPS/INE/TSP)
    The IDB's Freight Logistics Statistics Yearbook is the first regional effort to collect and standardize data from the sector in 26 borrowing member countries of the Bank. Data is compiled from public sources and estimates drawn from publicly available information. Data in the Yearbook is organized in seven groups: general indicators, roads, railways, air, water transport, and logistics activities. Explore the Yearbook's data in the dynamic spreadsheet and filter the indicators and countries of your interest, perform comparisons, and see the results in graphics. In each group the data is associated to infrastructure, fleet activity and other relevant dimensions. From the database, we have developed a report that analyzes main trends. Visit IDB's Logistics Observatory website to find additional data and analysis on freight transport in the region.
