Abstract

This study investigates the economic significance of the Transport and Storage sector using an input–output (IO) framework. The primary objective is to evaluate the sector’s multiplier effect and intersectoral linkages within the domestic economy. The analysis relies on the official 2020 Symmetric Input–Output Tables, aggregated into 16 analytical sectors. A demand-driven IO model was applied to measure direct and indirect impacts, excluding import shares to focus on domestic propagation channels. Results indicate that the total output multiplier for Transport and Storage is 2.807, with nearly two-thirds generated by indirect effects. Strong internal loops are observed within logistics activities, while notable spillovers occur in Manufacturing, Trade, Energy, Construction, and Hospitality. Approximately 19% of the effect translates into Gross Value Added, highlighting its role in income generation. The findings confirm the sector’s systemic importance and suggest that strengthening domestic supplier networks and infrastructure investment can further magnify its developmental contribution.
