** Overview: **
Based on a worldwide survey of operators on the ground -- such as global freight forwarders and express carriers -- the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) measures the logistics "friendliness" of 155 countries. The LPI consists of both qualitative and quantitative measures and helps build profiles of logistics friendliness for these countries. It measures performance along the logistics supply chain within a country and offers two different perspectives: International and Domestic.
 * **International LPI**provides qualitative evaluations of a country in six areas by its trading partners - logistics professionals working outside the country. The international LPI is a summary indica- tor of logistics sector performance, combining data on six core performance components into a single aggregate measure.; Customs, infrastructure, international shipment, logistics quality and competence, tracking and tracing, timeliness.
 * **Domestic LPI** provides both qualitative and quantitative assessments of a country by logistics professionals working inside it. It includes detailed information on the logistics environment, core logistics processes, institutions, and performance time and cost data.
