Their report emphasizes the importance of eliminating bottlenecks and implementing systemic solutions, which will contribute to the growth of trade, transit, and economic integration.
The proposed measures include tax and credit incentives.
Analysts suggest considering the introduction of temporary tax preferences for investors engaged in the construction of warehouses in priority regions or exploring new formats, such as pharma hubs and agrocenters.
According to their forecasts, measures such as property tax exemptions, accelerated depreciation, and exemption from land tax for the first 5–7 years will help reduce costs at the initial stage of projects.
Additionally, subsidizing interest rates on loans for the creation of logistics infrastructure through development banks or government programs, in the analysts' opinion, will make borrowed funds more accessible.
“In combination, fiscal incentives and accessible loans can significantly increase the profitability of warehouse projects, which, in turn, will attract more investors to this sector,” concludes the EDB report.
