Cost-Benefit Analysis on the Legal Framework of Maritime Single Window and Port Community System.

The Operational Research Institute conducted a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) on the legal framework of Maritime Single Window (MSW) and Port Community Systems (PCS). This initiative aimed to provide evidence-based insights to enhance decision-making and transparency among key stakeholders.

Key activities performed under the project included:

1. Established a robust framework for conducting CBAs.
2. Carried out a detailed step-by-step evaluation of financial, economic, and social impacts.
3. Quantified the local and national fiscal impact, the estimated impact on Georgia’s gross domestic product (GDP), and other main economic/social indicators.
4. Measured and monetized expected outcomes of the proposed framework changes.

The final report serves as a vital tool for informed decision-making, equipping stakeholders with transparent and data-driven insights.

The project implementation was supported by the USAID Economic Governance Program.
