Logistics performance index: Frequency with which shipments reach consignee within scheduled or expected time (1=low to 5=high)

This metric evaluates the reliability of international logistics by measuring how frequently shipments arrive at their intended destinations within the agreed-upon timeframes. Collected through a comprehensive survey by the World Bank in collaboration with various stakeholders in logistics, the data reflects insights from over 650 logistics professionals across 115 countries. Respondents assess the timeliness of deliveries to eight selected markets, scoring from 1 (rarely on time) to 5 (consistently on time). This index not only highlights the performance of specific markets but also serves as a crucial gauge for policymakers and businesses aiming to optimize supply chains in an increasingly interconnected global economy, revealing patterns that may influence trade dynamics and operational efficiencies.
