Abstract

The paper deals with developments in gross domestic product (GDP) and transport performance in freight transport in EU countries, measurement and performance reporting. The authors examine the correlation between freight transport performance and EU GDP. Correlation relationships are examined for absolute and relative values of the indicators. According to the period, relationships are divided into three-year and year-on-year changes. GDP growth is also increasing with transport performance growth. The positive relationship of these investigated variables was confirmed.
