Competitiveness, which includes greater productivity, is a key factor for socio-economic development and sets the level of prosperity that a society can reach. The competitiveness breach between the countries of the Western Hemisphere remains wide. In order to achieve sustainable and long-term growth, the region must invest in quality infrastructure, overcome the barriers in the logistic supply chains and promote efficient logistic operations.
