Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbekistan clinched the 117^th place among 168 countries of the world in the Logistics Performance Index, which was published by the World Bank.

Connecting to Compete, which contains the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), is a bi-annual report that scores 168 economies on how efficiently supply chains connect firms to domestic and international opportunities. The 2018 LPI highlights emerging concerns with the resilience of supply chains, their environmental footprint, and the need for qualified workers.

Connecting to Compete and its Logistics Performance Index are tools created to help governments benchmark their progress on trade logistics across key criteria, including the quality of trade-related infrastructure, the price of international shipments, logistics competence and quality, and the frequency with which shipments reach their destination on time.

Published biennially since 2007, the report uses both qualitative and quantitative measures to compare logistics friendliness across more than 160 countries.

According to LPI 2018, Uzbekistan took the 147^th place on customs, 98^th place on infrastructure and 134^th place on international shipments.

The country was on 109^th place on logistics quality and competence and 100 place on tracking and tracing, as well as 101^st place on timeliness.
