Current trends in the development of transport and logistics infrastructure in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Russian market of transport and logistics infrastructure developed rather slowly in 2019. By the way, there was nowhere to expect breakthrough indicators – the growth of the world economy is slowing down, and therefore the decline trends are inherent in many industries around the world. Delivery volumes gradually gained momentum, but in early 2020 there was a crisis – the COVID-19 pandemic, which swept the whole world and changed the lives of not only millions of people, but also the situation in the international and regional markets. The closure of borders between countries and the introduction of a self-isolation regime has led to a significant reduction in the volume of production capacities. The COVID-19 pandemic, having disrupted the established ties between producers and consumers around the world, has made serious adjustments to the business processes of transport and logistics organizations. The paper analyzes the features of the formation and functioning of logistics chains for Russia and the world. Global trends in the development of transport and logistics infrastructure in the modern conditions of transformation of economic relations were identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
