CAERC has published the "Transport Review"
The 2026 edition of the "Transport Review" has been published by the Center for Analysis of Economic Reforms and Communication (CAERC).
Prepared in Azerbaijani and English, the publication reflects indicators by the transport sector and types of transport, the dynamics of transit freight transport across transport modes and main transport corridors, as well as implemented and targeted infrastructure development projects. The review presents a comparative analysis of the 2024–2025 indicators regarding the specific weight of the transport sector in macroeconomic indicators, import and export metrics of transport services, passenger and freight transportation and turnover via road, rail, air, metro, maritime, and pipeline transport modes, as well as revenues generated from this field.
The review, conceptualized by Vusal Gasimli, Executive Director of CAERC, Doctor of Economic Sciences, and Professor, also covers measures implemented to improve the infrastructure provision of individual transport modes. In particular, it highlights the results of works carried out within the framework of the "State Program for the Improvement of Transport Infrastructure in Baku City and Surrounding Areas for 2025–2030," alongside information on digitalization, micromobility, and tramway lines.
