Follow on Google News | New Market Research Report: Slovakia Freight Transport Report 2011New Transportation research report from Business Monitor International is now available from Fast Market Research
The EC said it had information suggesting that the Slovakian government failed to guarantee nondiscrimination and equal treatment of all participants in the tender process. Failing a satisfactory response from the government, a complaint could be filed to the European Court of Justice. Press reports suggested that after launching in January 2010, the system would operate at a loss of EUR186mn (US$253.9mn) Going into 2011, BMI sees Slovakia continuing on the path of a weak-to-moderate economic recovery after the financial crash and recession of 2008-2009. The macro-economic operating environment for the freight transport industry will therefore be supportive but demand will remain somewhat constrained. The country's political stability and EU and eurozone membership, together with its manageable levels of debt and relatively small budget and current account deficits are all positives. Still-high unemployment levels and a lack of cost competitiveness, however, are dragging down on private consumption which remains the main engine of future growth. As a result of our analysis, BMI estimated a 2010 GDP growth rate of 3.1% (following on from the 4.9% slump the previous year). Our outlook for 2011 is for moderate GDP growth of 3.5%, edging up to 3.7% in 2012. In the four years to 2015, we expected growth to average 3.7% per annum, lower than in the pre-2009 period. Slovakia's airfreight cargo volume has been small and rather volatile in recent years. Despite the bankruptcy of Air Slovakia, in 2010 cargo volume carried by air increased 13.5% to 13,880 tonnes. For 2011, we are predicting that the industry will see a year of slower growth at 5.0% to 14,570 tonnes. In terms of cargo volume, Slovakia's railway system experienced three years of decline, culminating in a drop of 10.2% in 2009, when the total came down to 43.03mn tonnes. BMI estimates that a weak recovery began in 2010 with 1.2% growth; for 2011 we foresee similar percentage growth to 44.09mn tonnes. In 2011, we expect total road tonnage volume to fall by 1.8% to 166.01mn tonnes, following a 3.4% gain in 2010. In terms of road freight carried (volume x distance) there will be a gain of 5.0% in 2011. The big difference between the slow growth of road tonnage volume and the faster growth of overall traffic (volume x distance) appears to be consistent with Slovakia's increasing integration into the EU logistics industry, which is seeing average trip lengths steadily increasing. In real terms, Slovakian trade slumped by 5.1% in 2009, had a moderate recovery in 2010 (estimated growth of 6.7%) and is set to slow down marginally in 2011 (+6.5%). Looking ahead, Slovakian trade will experience low-to-moderate growth in the four years to 2014 (+6.7). In nominal terms, we are expecting import growth of 2.5% in 2011 to US$74.02bn, with exports growing by the same percentage, to US$72.75bn. Slovakia will therefore register a small trade deficit.
