STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The 2016 edition of Connecting to Compete scores and benchmarks countries’ performance on logistics. Germany ranked first for the second time in a row, and Syria ranked last. The top performing countries tend to be high-income; countries with the lowest scores tend to be low-income.
Many factors determine a country’s logistics performance – including infrastructure, regulations, policies, geography, and political economy.
The Logistics Performance Index, part of the Connecting to Compete report, measures the efficiency of international supply chains. It covers 160 countries based on the multidimensional assessment of over 1000 global logistics professionals.
