The 2025 edition of the Logistics Performance Indicators (LPI 2.0) brings a fundamental redesign of the World Bank’s former survey-based Logistics Performance Index toward a system grounded in shipment-level, operational data. Drawing on large-scale tracking data from maritime, aviation, and postal operators, the LPI 2.0 provides standardized and comparable measures of supply chain connectivity, speed, and reliability across countries and over time.
Data for 2023–24 reveal persistent connectivity gaps between high- and lower-income economies, substantial time penalties associated with transshipment and border procedures, and high unpredictability concentrated at ports, transshipment hubs, and inland checkpoints. By shifting the focus from perceptions to observed outcomes, the LPI 2.0 significantly enhances diagnostic precision and policy relevance, enabling governments to better prioritize reforms with the highest potential impact on supply chain connectivity, speed, reliability, and resilience. Supply chains are only as good as their weakest link. Sustainable improvements require complex changes in a range of policy dimensions in areas including infrastructure, trade facilitation, and logistics services.
