🇧🇷 "This article investigates the causes of structural change in Brazil, through the rise and the fall of the manufacturing industry, and the consequences for total factor productiv- ity and manufacturing labour productivity, from 1947 to 2021. Our results show that the industrialization of the Brazilian productive structure is positively associated with expansions in infrastructure investments and with the pursuit of a competitive real exchange rate, that is, with policies oriented towards economic development. Our findings also indicate that such variables exert a direct influence on total factor productivity and manufacturing labour productivity and an indirect influence through their impacts on the Brazilian productive structure. Our conclusions suggest that an important cause of the Brazilian premature dein- dustrialization, and then of its poor performance in terms of total factor productivity and manufacturing labour productivity, is the adoption of policies not oriented towards economic development adopted since the neoliberal reforms of the 1980s and 1990s."

Transport Minister Barbara Creecy and Transnet CEO Michelle Phillips are pivotal figures poised to reshape South Africa's economy. Transnet's inefficiencies have severely impacted growth, with manufacturers, miners, and farmers struggling to move their goods. In 2023, logistics troubles led to historically low coal and iron-ore exports, costing the economy R353 billion—4.9% of GDP. 📉 Ports like Cape Town, Durban, and Ngqura ranked among the worst globally in the 2023 Container Port Performance Index. These challenges extend to importers, affecting major retailers like Woolworths.  However, with the expertise and leadership of Creecy and Phillips, there is hope for a turnaround.

Some great commentary from our colleagues at Westac. "Canada is a geographically big country that requires a robust transportation network to support commerce. Strategic investments in roads, bridges, rail, ports and digital infrastructure are critical. These improvements would enhance logistical efficiency and make our country more attractive to investors and trade partners. Investment in infrastructure must be an ongoing priority and further investment in the National Trade Corridor Fund in the upcoming federal budget would signal that the government understand the link between transportation and the Canadian economy." #Canadas_Ports #SupplyChains

The road freight industry is a vital cornerstone of South Africa’s economy, and within it, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a pivotal role. Yet, these SMEs often grapple with daunting challenges, including regulatory compliance, funding constraints, limited resources, and navigating intricate cross-border transport networks. These challenges can impede their growth and success. Recognising this, the Road Freight SME Summit is set to take place on October 20 and 21, 2023, at The Maslow Hotel in Sandton, strategically coinciding with Transport Month. The Summit aims to confront these challenges head-on, serving as a platform to equip SMEs with invaluable insights, strategic guidance, and pragmatic solutions to fortify their businesses and advance the sector as a whole.Read more here: https://bit.ly/3RVgHhM
