What is the Logistics Performance Index (LPI)?
APTFF Wuhan 10/22/2015 Christina Busch The World Bank 3
• Benchmarking tool to identify logistics
bottlenecks
• Coverage: 160 countries
• Survey-based: Built on ~ 5,000 country
assessments by 1,000 logistics
professionals
• Captures perceptions
• Published every 2 years
How the LPI is constructed
APTFF Wuhan 10/22/2015 Christina Busch The World Bank 4
International LPI Domestic LPI
• Qualitative evaluations of a country in six
areas by its trading partners (i.e.
professionals working outside the country)
• Each respondent rates up to 8 countries
plus his own
• Respondents rate a country’s logistics
performance on a scale of 1 to 5
• Qualitative and quantitative evaluations
of a country by logistics professionals
working inside it
• Includes detailed information on the
logistics environment, core logistics
processes, institutions, and
performance time & cost data
The LPI ranking is only based on the International LPI.
