This means, if Turkey manages to improve the LPI score on infrastructure to the level of highincome
OECD countries’ average, associated impact on the exports are estimated to be more than 29
%. A 12 % improvement in the indicator for the quality of customs procedures, which is sufficient to
reach the average of high income OECD countries, is associated with an increase in bilateral exports
of 48% for seaborne trade. Moreover, reaching at top performer’s (Germany) LPI score level in
tracking/tracing or logistics competence will increase exports by 52 % and 55 %, respectively. On the
other hand, to be able to reach its target of USD 500 billion of exports in 2023, Turkey needs to raise
its overall LPI score up to 4.15 in the next 10 years.
