How the transport system should adapt
to new trends in economic development?
The current global trends indicate the need to abandon traditional approaches to economic development and suggest the adoption of breakthrough solutions. The essence of these measures lies at the confluence of different industries, at the intersection of spheres of various agents, at the supranational level and, consequently, requires partnership and coherence. At the same time, the credibility and effectiveness of supranational institutions of governance today cannot sustain the necessary level of confidence in the financial and economic system, this resulting in an outflow of investments and investment deficit. With the slowdown of capital flows the most promising and effective solution will be to increase the capitalization of the flow as a process of transport communications - a key strategic asset of the "1520 area". The successful solution of this problem will largely predetermine not only the future of the "wide" gauge railway business, but the development of the Euro-Asian economic system.
Key issues:
- What kinds of transport services will be of greatest demand in the long run?
- How can the integration and protectionist tendencies, the international nature of goals and national interests be reconciled within the post-crisis program development framework?
- On what rate the freight traffic intensity should the transport services suppliers place their stake and what level of service should consumers expect?
- How to convert the accumulated experience of interaction into actual mechanism of development?
- Are the railway companies’ business strategies able become a catalyst for economic development?
