Growth Drivers
Expanding Manufacturing Industry

The country's manufacturing industry's growth rate is an indicator of its economic strength.

Restraints

Without these, businesses must accumulate more working capital and stock reserves, which can have a significant impact on regional and national competitiveness due to high financial expenses. Also, a lack of infrastructure makes the market for contract logistics more expensive and less dependable. They include severe transportation inefficiencies, shoddy storage facilities, complicated taxation, slow adoption of modern technology, and inadequate logistical professional competency.
