The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is an analysis tool created by the World Bank. It is the combination of the weighted average of the country scores on six key dimensions: customs performance; infrastructure quality; ease of arranging shipments; logistics services quality; consignments tracking and tracing and timeliness of shipments; and practical data measuring logistics efficiency.
The LPI was reported by the World Bank every two years from 2010 to 2018 with a break in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a restructuring of the index methodology, eventually coming out only in 2023. The LPI is based on data from stakeholders in the countries where they operate and those with which they trade. Since 2023 the LPI incorporates certain key performance indicators and big data to complement the results of the survey.
