Surveys on the freight international transport

Statistical sample survey on the international freight transport

TRT has been again commissioned by the Banca d’Italia (Italian Central Bank) to carry out a four-year survey on the international freight transport, in order to:

• identify the unit costs of different transport modes for imports and exports;
• identify the components of ancillary costs;
• show in a matrix the abroad goods exchange;
• define the market share held by Italian actors in the maritime, air and rail transport sectors;
• estimate the turnover made by Italian ship-owners abroad.

The surveys and analyzes carried out are used by the Banca d’Italia to estimate the Balance of Payments in Italy.

As part of a consolidated partnership of more than twenty years, the activity constitutes the continuation of similar investigations conducted by TRT for Banca d’Italia since 1998.
