A Sustainable Asset Valuation Assessment of Building and Transport Infrastructure Investment in the Shymkent-Tashkent-Khujand Economic Corridor
This report presents the Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) of a proposed transport and building infrastructure development on the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to promote close and mutually beneficial trade relationships between the countries.
Plans have been developed to create both an International Center for Trade and Economic Cooperation (ICTEC) Central Asia and a trade and logistics centre between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to promote close and mutually beneficial trade relationships along the Shymkent–Tashkent–Khujand economic corridor. These projects aim to provide a modern and more efficient border crossing for people, vehicles, and goods, creating jobs, increasing trade and investment from the private sector, fostering economic cooperation, and boosting the tourism sector.
We carried out a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of the transport and building infrastructure in the economic corridor. The objective of this assessment is to gain insight and raise awareness of the impact of sustainable infrastructure on the efficiency of trade, energy efficiency and energy use, congestion, commuting times, number of road accidents, CO2 emissions, and employment creation.
