Connecting to Compete 2016 : Trade Logistics in the Global Economy--The Logistics Performance Index and Its Indicators


== Abstract ==

The LPI has provided valuable             information for policy makers, traders, and other             stakeholders, including researchers and academics, on the             role of logistics for growth and the policies needed to             support logistics in areas such as infrastructure planning,             service provision, and crossborder trade and transport             facilitation. The results of Connecting to Compete 2016             point to Germany as the best performing country, with an LPI             score of 4.23, and Syria as the lowest, with a score of 1.60             (equivalent to 19 percent of Germany’s score on a scale from             1 to 5). The converging trend between the top and worst             performers that appeared in the previous LPI surveys (2007,             2010, 2012, and 2014) seems to have slightly reversed. The             average scores in each quintile reveal that the gap between             the top 2 quintiles and the countries at the bottom in             performance is widening again.
