About the Data

Logistics performance index: Overall (1=low to 5=high)

Long definition
Logistics Performance Index overall score reflects perceptions of a country's logistics based on efficiency of customs clearance process, quality of trade­ and transport­related
infrastructure, ease of arranging competitively priced shipments, quality of logistics services, ability to track and trace consignments, and frequency with which shipments reach
the consignee within the scheduled time. The index ranges from 1 to 5, with a higher score representing better performance. Data are from Logistics Performance Index surveys
conducted by the World Bank in partnership with academic and international institutions and private companies and individuals engaged in international logistics. 2009 round of
surveys covered more than 5,000 country assessments by nearly 1,000 international freight forwarders. Respondents evaluate eight markets on six core dimensions on a scale

from 1 (worst) to 5 (best). The markets are chosen based on the most important export and import markets of the respondent's country, random selection, and, for landlocked
countries, neighboring countries that connect them with international markets. Scores for the six areas are averaged across all respondents and aggregated to a single score using
principal components analysis. Details of the survey methodology and index construction methodology are in Arvis and others' Connecting to Compete 2010: Trade Logistics in the
Global Economy (2010).

Burden of customs procedure, WEF (1=extremely inefficient to 7=extremely efficient)

Long definition
Burden of Customs Procedure measures business executives' perceptions of their country's efficiency of customs procedures. The rating ranges from 1 to 7, with a higher score
indicating greater efficiency. Data are from the World Economic Forum's Executive Opinion Survey, conducted for 30 years in collaboration with 150 partner institutes. The 2009
round included more than 13,000 respondents from 133 countries. Sampling follows a dual stratification based on company size and the sector of activity. Data are collected online
or through in­person interviews. Responses are aggregated using sector­weighted averaging. The data for the latest year are combined with the data for the previous year to create
a two­year moving average. Respondents evaluated the efficiency of customs procedures in their country. The lowest score (1) rates the customs procedure as extremely
inefficient, and the highest score (7) as extremely efficient.

Lead time to export, median case (days)

Long definition
Lead time to export is the median time (the value for 50 percent of shipments) from shipment point to port of loading. Data are from the Logistics Performance Index survey.
Respondents provided separate values for the best case (10 percent of shipments) and the median case (50 percent of shipments). The data are exponentiated averages of the

The Liner Shipping Connectivity Index captures how well countries are connected to global shipping networks. It is computed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and
Development (UNCTAD) based on five components of the maritime transport sector: number of ships, their container­carrying capacity, maximum vessel size, number of services,
and number of companies that deploy container ships in a country's ports. For each component a country's value is divided by the maximum value of each component in 2004, the
five components are averaged for each country, and the average is divided by the maximum average for 2004 and multiplied by 100. The index generates a value of 100 for the
country with the highest average index in 2004. . The underlying data come from Containerisation International Online.
