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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSHIPPERSRAIL INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT SECTORCARGO COMPOSITIONLIABILITYTRANSPORT SERVICEAIRPORTCROSSINGSFREIGHT FORWARDINGACCESS TO THE SEATRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREVEHICLESFREIGHT TRANSPORTTRANSPORT MODETRENDEMISSIONSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTLOADINGLANDLOCKED COUNTRIESCARRIERSTRAFFICMULTIMODAL TRANSPORTROUTESAIRPORTSTRANSIT ROUTESQUALITYAIRTRAFFIC PLANNERSDELIVERYINFRASTRUCTURE PLANNINGINTERNATIONAL TRANSITDRIVERSCUSTOMS CLEARANCELOGISTICS MANAGEMENTCUSTOMS PROCEDURESAIR TO SEAFREIGHT RATESTRANSPORT RATESTRAFFIC CONTROLLERSSEAPORTSROADCARGOREGIONAL TRANSITRAIL TRANSPORTCOSTSAIR POLLUTIONTRAININGCARBON TRANSPORTDISTANCEPORT CHARGESTRANSPORTPORT OF LOADINGFREIGHT FLOWSPORT OF ENTRYTRANSIT COUNTRIESCUSTOMSLOGISTICSCONTAINER SHIPPINGEXTERNALITIESINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTTRADE LOGISTICSFREIGHT FORWARDERSPOLLUTIONAIR CARGOBREAK BULK CARGOLABORPORTSINTERNATIONAL GATEWAYSLINER SHIPPINGROUTEINVENTORYTRANSPORT POLICYBULK CARGOGREENHOUSE GASESSERVICE RELIABILITYINFRASTRUCTURETRUCK DRIVERSAIR FREIGHTLAND USENATIONAL LOGISTICSMANUFACTURINGTRANSPORT NETWORKEMISSIONCUSTOMS BROKERSINITIATIVESLOGISTICS COSTSTRANSPORT FACILITATIONDRIVINGTRANSPORTATIONINSPECTIONTRANSITLOGISTICS TRAININGPOLICIESINTERNATIONAL TRADETRANSPARENCYBORDER CROSSINGSHIPPINGDELIVERY TIMESCARGOESACCESSIBILITYLOAD FACTORSSHIPMENTSPORT OF DISCHARGETRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRADE FACILITATIONINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSEXPRESS DELIVERY SERVICESGOOD TRANSPORTBREAK BULKGREEN LOGISTICSBRIDGEMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTROADSDELIVERIESTRANSSHIPMENTFORWARDINGCROSSINGTRADEDEMAND PATTERNSMARITIME TRANSPORTAIR TRANSPORTSUPPLY CHAINSECONOMIES OF SCALEBORDER MANAGEMENTSHIPPING ROUTESDDPWAREHOUSINGRAILROADSFREIGHT_FORWARDERSRAILSHIPSAIRPORT CHARGESFREIGHT MARKETINVESTMENTSSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTBORDER INFRASTRUCTURETRANSIT SYSTEMSNOISEROAD TRANSPORTSAFETYFREIGHTINFRASTRUCTURESTONNAGETRANSIT SYSTEMBOTTLENECKSReportWorld Bank10.1596/24598
