freight services increased by 16% from 1995 to 2007
(i.e. right before the current economic crisis), that means an annual percent growth
slightly above 1.2%. Due to its high sensitivity to economic activities, freight services
registered a sharp decline between 2007 and 2009 to a level (measured in ton/kilometres)
lower than 1995 (361 billion tkm). Nevertheless, in 2010 and 2011 freight services
experienced a fast recovery, achieving 420 billion tkm in the last year in which statistics
are available, slightly above 2005 values.
