Abstract
This Note shows how, through a process
of consultation between the World Bank Transport Sector and
Private Sector Department, some focus on transport has been
introduced into the Global "core" module of the
Investment Climate Survey. The Note also shows the scope for
achieving much more focus on specific transport constraints
in Investment Climate Assessments for countries where these
are expected to be particularly important. Examples are
given of questionnaires which have been developed to
complement the "core" module and specifically to
meet the needs of two Regions, Africa and Latin America and
the Caribbean, where different aspects of transport have
been identified as significant considerations for investors.
For Africa the focus is on the availability of suitable
transport services. For Latin America the emphasis is rather
on the role of transport in influencing the location of
enterprises. Application of these revised questionnaires
will provide more data on the contribution of transport to
doing business in different countries.
