The World Bank has released a report entitled Connecting to Compete: Trade Logistics in the Global Economy which contains data on infrastructure scores supporting the highest logistics performance in global trade.
As we know, infrastructure is important in trade between countries. Integrated infrastructure will facilitate the process of distributing goods and make work more efficient.
Based on data, the World Bank recorded infrastructure scores supporting logistics performance for 139 countries in the world. The rating scale given is 0-5. The higher the score, the better the infrastructure, thereby helping the country’s logistics performance better. Which countries? see the list.
Based on the data above, the highest infrastructure score index was achieved by Singapore with a score of 4.6 points. The second position is occupied by Switzerland which received a score of 4.4 points.
It is a shame that Indonesia’s value is so far from the champions mentioned above. Indonesia only pocketed a score of 2.9 points.
In a broader context, this infrastructure score is used as an indicator in the international logistics performance score or better known as the Logistics Performance Index (LPI).
In the report, the LPI is used as a comparison tool to identify challenges and opportunities in logistics performance, especially to develop the trade sector of the country concerned.
In Indonesia itself, financing from the private sector has the largest contribution in financing infrastructure projects during 2020-2024.
The World Bank noted that national infrastructure investment needs during 2020-2024 reached IDR 6,445 trillion. Meanwhile, financing from the private sector contributed up to 42% of the total investment, while the state budget only reached 37%.
