Click here to view the latest Statistics Brief published by the International Transport Forum at the OECD. The December edition presents the latest available global freight figures, which confirm stagnation and indicate near-term decline.

The Statistics Brief offers data and analysis in concise executive summary-style. Published about eight times a year, the Statistics Brief series covers the following topics: Global trade and freight, Infrastructure investment and maintenance, Transport CO₂ emissions, Road Safety and General trends in transport.  The Statistics Brief is intended for policy-makers, business executives, journalists, consultants and all transport experts with a need for easily accessible and reliable information.

Further transport-related data and statistics are available on the ITF website.  You can also access the statistics explorer tool which allows you to analyse transport data using an animated graphical or spatial interface thereby enabling the creating of your own data-based "stories" with animated graphs.
