    The Voice of the Private Sector in East Africa EABC BRIEF IMPACT OF COVID-19 #BeyondCovid19 ON EAC TRANSPORT & #EABCCares #Covid19EA LOGISTICS SECTOR EAST AFRICAN BUSINESS COUNCIL Issued: 14.04.2020 1.0 TRANSPORT & LOGISTICS IN THE EAC Preamble ■ The Covid-19 pandemic is creating shocks to trade flows due to transport and logistics disruptions. Currently, China occupies 60% of world supply and demand, 65% of world manufacturing, and 41% of world manufacturing exports (Baldwin & di Mauro, 2020). Wuhan, the origin city of COVID-19, is ranked as 13th out of 2000 Chinese cities by Bloomberg for its role in international supply chains and the 9th best-performing city of China according to the Milken Institute ranking. ■ With 3 national development zones, 4 scientific and technological development parks accommodating over 350 research institutes, 1656 hi-tech enterprises, and numerous enterprise incubators, the city received investments from 230 Fortune Global 500 firms (Bloomberg, 2020). This clearly indicates the scale of ripple effects to be generated due to the lock-down of Wuhan, let alone the other production cities. A global supply chain shock beginning with production shocks primarily in China is spilling over to EAC economies. 2.0 EXPECTED DISRUPTIONS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Impact on Slower Clearance Restricted of cargo at Sea Movement of Breakdown of Transport & Ports; Mombasa & People as supply chains due Logistics will have Dar es Salaam and countries shut- to severe a ripple effect on OSBPs. down airports and disruption in key economic restrict the entry of inbound and sectors such as international outbound logistics manufacturing, Covid-19 related passengers.
