Customs Infrastructure International shipments Quality of logistics services Tracking and tracing Timeliness
There are significant differences in LPI performance across LPI components and quintiles: The timeliness component outperforms the other LPI components and is viewed as the least problematic. The performance of customs and border agencies, as well as the quality of trade and transport infrastructure, are particularly low in the worst-performing countries, which also have relatively low quality of logistics services.

The demand for environmentally friendly solution is strongly and positively associated with logistics performance.

A ratings gap between services and infrastructure appears across World Bank regions. It is particularly stark for air transport in Europe and Central Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), for road transport in LAC and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and for warehousing in SSA. These data suggest a need to develop transport-related infrastructure, so that service markets reforms can bring maximum benefits to users.

Border process efficiency still affects lowest performers: The lowest performers tend to experience more red tape.

Logistics performance is not primarily about speed or costs, but about the reliability of supply chains and service delivery, which depends on many factors: infrastructure, competition, skills, etc.
1. Logistics skills shortages 2. Restructuring global value chains 3. Supply chain risk and recovery (resilience) 4. Digital transformation of supply chains 5. Sustainability of supply chains 6. E-commerce driving demand chains 7. Logistics property and infrastructure 8. Collaborative business models

Most of these trends are directly relevant to the logistics policy agenda.
=> Still relevant for most developing countries, but focus in higher performing countries has shifted to domestic logistics Policies to target :
trucking, brokerage, terminal or warehousing operations.
23
Most reforms in the logistics sector involve more than one agency and many stakeholders, slowing implementation, or even reversing it → Need for seamless interagency coordination and strong public- private dialogue, e.g. via national logistics bodies.
