Finland State of Logistics 2014

In 2014 Finland ranked 24th in World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index LPI 2014, compared to the 3rd rank in 2012. However, Finland is still in the top 10% of 166 countries in the aggregated LPI ranking for 2007–2014. The LPI measures in particular the performance of foreign trade logistics. Assessments of Finland by LPI subcategories indicate a similar trend as do the Finnish respondents’ replies in the Finland State of Logistics 2014 survey. The Finnish replies are predominantly more critical than the international assessment. An exception to this norm is Tracking and Tracing, where the Finnish respondents in all industries give a higher rating than the LPI (Figure 1). The biggest difference in the Finnish data is in Transportation availability, where especially the view of domestic trade firms is more critical than the international assessment in LPI.
