Based on a worldwide survey of global freight forwarders and express carriers, the LPI is a benchmarking tool developed by the World Bank that measures performance along the logistics supply chain within a country. The index can help countries identify challenges and opportunities and improve their logistics performance. The World Bank conducts the survey every two years. The 2010 LPI also provides a snapshot of selected performance indicators in nearly 130 countries, including expanded information on the time, cost, and reliability of import and export supply chains, infrastructure quality, performance of core services, and the friendliness of trade clearance procedures. The 2010 LPI and its indicators encapsulate the firsthand knowledge of movers of international trade, collected amid the economic turmoil of 2009. This information is relevant for policymakers and the private sector seeking to identify priorities for reform agendas. Findings include the following. First, except in high-income countries, the availability and quality of trade-related infrastructure is a major constraint to performance, but the specific priorities tend to vary across countries. Second, efficient border management and coordination of the various agencies involved in border clearance is increasingly important. Third, a major challenge for the international community is how to help the lowest performing countries benefit from an increasingly open global trading system.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTACTION PLANAD VALOREMAIRAIR FREIGHTAIR TRANSPORTAIRPORTAIRPORTSAUDITSAUTOMATIONBACKBONEBEST PRACTICEBORDER CROSSINGSBORDER MANAGEMENTBOTTLENECKSBOXESBRIDGEBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORSBUYERCARBON EMISSIONSCARGOCARGO COMPOSITIONCARGO CONSOLIDATIONCARRIAGECARRIERSCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMODITIESCOMMODITYCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMPETITIVENESSCONNECTIVITYCONTAINER SHIPPINGCONTRACT LOGISTICSCOPYRIGHTCORRELATION MATRIXCORRIDOR INFRASTRUCTURECOST EFFECTIVENESSCUSTOMSCUSTOMS CLEARANCECUSTOMS PROCEDURESDDPDELIVERED DUTY PAIDDELIVERIESDIRECT COSTSDISTRIBUTION SECTORDISTRIBUTION SERVICESDISTRIBUTORSDOCUMENT REQUIREMENTSDOMAINDRIVINGE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONEND USERSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTSFREIGHTFREIGHT COSTSFREIGHT FORWARDERSFREIGHT FORWARDINGFREIGHT TRANSPORTGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETPLACEGLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINSGLOBALIZATIONICTINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINFORMATION TECHNOLOGIESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINNOVATIONINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINTERNATIONAL COMPANIESINTERNATIONAL GATEWAYSINTERNATIONAL LOGISTICSINTERNATIONAL SHIPPINGINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRANSITINTERNATIONALIZATIONINVENTORYINVENTORY LEVELSJOINT VENTURELAND TRANSPORTLANDLOCKED COUNTRIESLICENSESLINER SHIPPINGLOGISTICS COMPANIESLOGISTICS COSTSLOGISTICS PROVIDERSLOGISTICS SERVICE PROVIDERSLOW PERFORMANCEMARITIME TRANSPORTMATERIALMOVEMENT OF GOODSMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTNATIONAL LOGISTICSNETWORKSPAYMENT SYSTEMSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPORT AUTHORITYPORT OF LOADINGPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRODUCTIVITYQUALITY OF SERVICEQUALITY OF SERVICESQUALITY OF TRANSPORTQUALITY OF TRANSPORT SERVICESQUERIESRAILRAIL FREIGHTRAIL INDUSTRYRAIL INFRASTRUCTURERAIL SERVICESRAIL TRANSPORTRAILROADRAILWAYRAILWAYSREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTRELIABILITYREPORTINGRESULTRESULTSROADROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD QUALITYROAD TRANSPORTROADSROUTEROUTESSAFETYSERVICE PROVIDERSSHIPMENTSSHIPPERSSHIPPING ROUTESSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAINSTECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURETELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURETELEPHONETHIRD PARTY LOGISTICSTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE LOGISTICSTRANSACTIONTRANSITTRANSIT CONNECTIONSTRANSIT COUNTRIESTRANSIT ROUTESTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSIT TRADETRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT FACILITATIONTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MANAGEMENTTRANSPORT MARKETSTRANSPORT OPERATORSTRANSPORT REGULATIONTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSSHIPMENTTRUEUSESWAREHOUSINGWEBWEB SITEWORLD TRADEReportWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/24599
