1. Overview LPI 2010 6

The Logistics Performance Index • First report in 2007, every three years • Source of data is suppliers of logistics services (freight forwarders, express carriers) • Rates logistical performance on a scale of 1 to 5 7

LPI: Key messages • • • Trade logistics is an important element of national competitiveness A country’s performance is only as good as its weakest link The LPI dataset can be used to identify key bottlenecks in your own country 8

What are efficient logistics? The LPI measures six dimensions of country performance: Efficiency of the clearance process Quality of trade and transport infrastructure Ease of arranging competitively priced shipments Logistics competence and quality of logistics services Ability to track and trace shipments Timeliness of shipment delivery 9

Why Logistics Matter: Result when a low income country reaches LPI of middle income average Indicator/policy area Increase in trade (%) Logistics Performance Index 15. 2 All trade barriers reduced to 10% 8. 4 Regulatory reform measures 7. 4 Tariffs reduced to 5% 5. 7 10

Key Policy Implications: • Expand the traditional development agenda beyond customs reform and infrastructure to be comprehensive—processes, services, and infrastructure. • Increase border agency coordination • Partner with the private sector • Reform must be tailored to each country’s circumstances 11
