25、ng and monitoring the efficacy of transport corridors, using private sector data of actual commercial shipments along the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) corridors. It allows CAREC members* to measure their performance on trade facilitation and learn new practices that have worked

26、 elsewhere. It has informed dialogue, collaboration, and decision-making by the 11 member countries of the CAREC Program on trade facilitation.CPMM was launched in 2010 as part of the CAREC Transport and Trade Facilitation Strategy 2020 adopted in 2008, which was then superseded by the CAREC Transpo

27、rt Strategy 2030 approved in 2019 and the CAREC Integrated Trade Agenda 2030 approved in 2018. CPMMs aim has been to collate, analyze, and evaluate empirical time and cost data on commercial shipments transported along the six CAREC corridors. The use of data provided by drivers and freight forwarde

28、rs of actual shipments and verified by national transport and/or trade associations makes CPMM a reliable tool for measuring performance and identifying bottlenecks and friction along the corridorsespecially at border crossingsand for determining why shipment times and costs are sometimes higher tha

29、n they need to be. Results from the CAREC CPMM can fill gaps in research on regional trade facilitation initiatives and have supplemented the outputs of the World Customs Organizations Time Release Studies and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations Business Process Ana

30、lysis. These also measure time and cost of goods spent at borders, but at select few border-crossing points and at irregular intervals.CPMM findings and conclusions, which are reported at each annual CAREC ministerial conference, have become broader and more granular over time. Road and transport ti

31、me and cost data are now disaggregated and based on separate lists of the different border-crossing activities involved. Functionality was added to cover multimodal shipments such as those transported across the Caspian Sea or by both road and rail in Mongolia. Although performance was initially ass

32、essed by corridors alone, CPMM data are now available for evaluations by country and by individual border- crossing points. Each CPMM annual report contains a CAREC case study with a trade facilitation theme. CPMM development took another major step in 2020 when the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and

33、the CAREC Institute began working together to promote and further enhance the methodology of data collection and reporting, as well as advocacy. This joint work led to a series of recommendations for expanding the objectives and upgrading the methods and tool kits of CPMM, implementation of which be

34、gan in 2021.* The CAREC Program is a partnership of 11 countriesAfghanistan, Azerbaijan, the Peoples Republic of China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistanworking together to promote development through cooperation, leading to accele

35、rated economic growth and poverty reduction. See CAREC. www.carecprogram.org. ADB placed on hold its assistance in Afghanistan effective 15 August 2021.viii FOREWORDThis publication offers a longitudinal 10-year perspective on trends and impediments in trade facilitation across the CAREC countries.

36、The level of detail in the publication is out of the ordinary, with analyses based on more than 2,000 samples a year, and bottlenecks in CAREC cross-border trade pinpointed along with their specific causes. The publication covers the impacts of major events, particularly the coronavirus disease (COV

37、ID-19) outbreak, and provides projections and recommendations for a full recovery, and faster and more efficient growth of CAREC countries trade in the years ahead.The CPMM modality demonstrated its value during the pandemic. National statistics could show how trade dipped in 2020 and rebounded in 2

38、021, but not highlight the enduring challenges faced by international shippers and transport operators at specific locations along each CAREC corridor and how these were or remain to be addressed. Continued promotion and strengthening of CPMM is made even more indispensable by fragility and vulnerab

39、ilities in the recovery of international trade and supply chains, a recovery that has been disrupted by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. CPMM data and insights will continue to provide fact-based information critical to trade facilitation.We trust that CAREC policy makers and stakeholders will consi

40、der CPMM findings and recommendations and apply them when formulating policies and regulations to eliminate the institutional and regulatory barriers that impede the efficient flow of goods across the region. Removing these obstacles will pave the way for the people of the CAREC countries to prosper

45、ember countries. This publication describes the progress made by the programs trade facilitation efforts from 2010 to 2020. The Corridor Performance Measurement and Monitoring (CPMM) is a mature methodology to quantify, evaluate, and monitor the time- and cost-efficiency of cross-border trade across six CAREC corridors. The CPMM was conceptualized and tested in 2009 and officially launched in 2010. This publication describes the evolution of CPMM
