The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) is an interactive benchmarking tool created by the World Bank to help countries identify the challenges and opportunities they face in their performance on trade logistics and what they can do to improve their performance. There are six-core performance components in the Index. Sri Lanka has lost the overall ranking from 89 to 94. But the country has improved in the efficiency of customs and border clearance, the quality of trade and transport & infrastructure, the ease of arranging competitively priced shipments and ability to track and trace consignment.
