Abstract:
Summary. In modern global conditions, the revival of the economic belt of the Great
Silk Road as a whole opens up new significant opportunities for countries along the route
to develop the economies of these countries. Nowadays, the main factors for the
integration of these countries are logistics, international trade, and tourism. The relevance
of the study lies in the very methodological approach of assessing the logistics factors
affecting the economy of a number of countries along the economic belt of the Silk Road.
A group of preliminary countries, through which lie main routes of the economic belt of
Silk Road, including Kazakhstan, were selected. An analysis was carried out on the
efficiency of development of logistics and trade, impact of development of logistics on
international trade. Based on the analysis of international indices of logistics efficiency,
international trade conditions and regression models, problems and reasons for lagging
have been identified that affect the economic development of countries along the Silk
Road routes.
Priority initiatives have been identified to overcome restrictions that impede the
development of logistics and increase trade capacity in the countries of the Silk Road, in
particular the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), including Kazakhstan.
