Rasht-Astara Strategic Railway

One of the key measures in the study of factors affecting an economy as a whole is economic growth, and logistics and transport play a key role in this.

In fact, the economic progress in the world is dependent on various transportation modes for the quick delivery of goods and services to their destinations. In that sense, the countries that turn themselves into transit hubs have shown a significantly higher degree of success. Moreover, studies indicate that there is a clear correlation between transport and economic wealth.

In a mixed economy, one of the ways of measuring the success of the government's influence on the economy is by comparing how it has affected logistics and transport growth. Therefore, to encourage economic growth, governments need to invest in logistics infrastructure such as roads, railways, airports and ports.

Investment in transport networks can influence the functioning of labour markets, business productivity and competitiveness. These impacts interact over time and can lead to improvements in economic output and the geographical distribution of economic activity. They can also impact on the environment, quality of life and the overall attractiveness of towns and cities.
