El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

policy
Where an Indian trust has either
a foreign trustee or a foreign
beneficiary, provisions of
exchange control regulations will
apply
N/A
Ownership of stock in the company
would be governed by the FDI policy
of the Government of India
Same as applicable in Section 25
company.
In case of foreign trustee
In case the trust has foreign
trustee certain assets which are
statutorily required to be
registered, such as immovable
properties, would be registered in
name of trustee. This shall entail
prior approval of Reserve Bank of
India (RBI), which will not be
possible as a non resident in not
permitted to own immovable
property in India.
In case of foreign beneficiary
In case of a foreign beneficiary
prior RBI approval would need to
be obtained on account of the
ability to make remittances in
future and distribution on
dissolution of the trust. In our
experience, obtaining such an
approval is again extremely
difficult
In summary, if a trust structure is
to be set up, there should be no
foreign beneficiary. In case there
are foreign trustees, then the
trust cannot own immovable
property.
As per the FDI policy, the following
activities fall under automatic route,
i.e. no Government approval is
required
