Executive Summary Effectiveness and transparency of the transport industry and related policies are key components that ensure solid economic growth and stability in regards to the transport sector. The Foreign Investors Council in Latvia (FICIL) appreciates the initiative taken by the Ministry of Transport in outlining future plans to improve said sector, with intention to tackle issues that have been apparent for many years. While looking at the current and future investors, it is important to emphasise sustainable mobility to enable economic growth and promote predictability, integration, continuity, territorial cohesion and openness within the transportation network of Latvia. Further effort is required to ensure a transparent and effective transport sector in Latvia, while also looking forward to the future opportunities that large-scale transport infrastructure projects will bring. FICIL has identified underlying concerns affecting the business environment and investment climate in Latvia when it comes to the current state of the transport sector, as well as awaiting future investment in connection to large scale transport infrastructure projects being realised in the Baltic States. To improve the performance of the transport sector, FICIL would like to highlight these areas requiring action: 1. In terms of improving the existing transportation network environment: 1.1. Analyse the most suitable and effective governance model for transport sector enterprises.
