Armenia ranked 108th in the 2024 Logistics Efficiency Index
In 2024, Armenia ranked 108th in the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) published by the World Bank. This index assesses logistics infrastructure and delivery efficiency in different countries around the world.
Key aspects of the LPI
The LPI measures logistics performance using six key indicators:
Efficiency of customs procedures (the ease and speed of cargo crossing the border).
Quality of infrastructure (roads, railways, airways, ports, logistics centers).
Ease of organizing international transportation (the ease of booking cargo shipments).
Competence of logistics operators (quality of services of transport companies).
Cargo tracking and traceability (ability to control the movement of goods).
On-time delivery (percentage of cargo arriving on time).
Armenia’s position in the ranking
Among more than 160 countries, Armenia ranked 108th, which indicates an average or low level of logistics efficiency compared to other countries in the region and the world.
Factors influencing Armenia’s position
Geographical location: the lack of access to the sea complicates logistics processes.
Infrastructure: Although work has been carried out in recent years to improve roads and transport nodes, the overall level of logistics infrastructure remains below average.
Trade barriers: the geopolitical situation, closed borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan limit transport routes.
Development of digital solutions: It is necessary to improve digital services for tracking cargo and interacting with customs services.
For comparison,
Georgia ranked 79th, which is due to the availability of seaports and a more developed transport system.
Russia ranked 58th, thanks to its strong railway network and improved logistics.
The leaders of the rating are Germany, Singapore and the Netherlands, where logistics is a highly developed industry.
Armenia’s prospects and challenges
To improve Armenia’s rating in the future, it is necessary:
Development of road and railway infrastructure.
Optimization of customs procedures and reduction of bureaucracy.
Improvement of digital solutions for logistics.
Expansion of trade links and transport routes.
This rating shows that Armenia still has serious work to do in the logistics sector to improve its position in the global ranking.
