Connecting to compete. Trade logistics in the global economy. The logistics performance index and its indicators - Edition 2010.

Banque Mondiale

Description

Le "logistics performance index" (LPI) est le premier outil qui mesure la performance logistique tout au long de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Grâce à une collaboration poussée avec le secteur privé et à une enquête mondiale réalisée auprès des transitaires et des transporteurs, ce rapport expose en détail la performance de la logistique dans 130 pays. L'étude montre que la logistique du commerce ou la capacité de se connecter aux marchés internationaux pour expédier des marchandises est essentielle pour l'amélioration de la compétitivité des pays en développement. Elle identifie les facteurs et politiques qui expliquent les écarts importants de performance logistique entre pays et expose les défis à relever et les opportunités à saisir.

Foreword

is is the second edition ofConnecting to Com- pete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy, which was first published in November 2007. e Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and its indicators are a joint venture of the World Bank, logistics providers, and academic partners. e LPI is a comprehensive index created to help countries identify the challenges and opportu - nities they face in trade logistics performance. e World Bank conducts the LPI survey every two years. Logistics encompasses an array of essen - tial activities—from transport, warehousing, cargo consolidation, and border clearance to in- country distribution and payment systems— involving a variety of public and private agents. A competitive network of global logistics is the backbone of international trade. Unfortu - nately, many developing countries have not yet benefited from the productivity gains of logis - tics modernization and internationalization implemented over the last 20 years by advanced economies. Improving logistics performance has be - come an important development policy objec - tive in recent years because logistics have a major impact on economic activity. Evidence from the 2007 and 2010 LPIs indicates that, for coun - tries at the same level of per capita income, those with the best logistics performance experience additional growth: 1 percent in gross domestic product and 2 percent in trade. ese findings are especially relevant today, as developing coun - tries need to invest in better trade logistics to boost recovery from the current economic crisis and emerge in a stronger and more competitive position. On a hopeful note, the 2010 LPI points to modest but positive trends in key areas such as customs, use of information technologies for

trade, and investment in private services. It also shows that logistics overperformers—countries with a higher LPI score than income would pre - dict—are countries that have consistently in - vested in reforms and improvements. e 2010 LPI highlights new areas that need further at - tention, such as the coordination of agencies involved in border clearance and the quality of domestic trucking and customs brokerage services. 

Connecting to Compete 2007helped spark di- alogue in several countries among various stake - holders in the government and between policy - makers and the private sector about measures to address logistics bottlenecks and facilitate inter - national trade and transportation. e optimis - tic messages fromConnecting to Compete 2010  should encourage countries to do even more, particularly important for countries whose trade logistics performance continues to be low. With the LPI, the World Bank aims to focus attention on an issue of global importance and provide a platform for dialogue among govern - ment, business, and civil society. By showing how countries compare to others in the area of trade logistics and illuminating the costs of poor logistics performance, we hope the LPI will con - tinue to serve as a catalyst, helping policymakers and the private sector build the case for domes - tic policy reform, for investment in trade-related infrastructure, and for the regional and multi - lateral cooperation that is needed for countries to break out of the vicious circle of “logistics unf iendliness ” r .
