Ltd.10.26689/pbes.v8i8.13385ArticleA Comparative Study on the Current Situation of Logistics Development Among Countries Under the RCEP Framework: From the Perspective of the World Bank Logistics Performance Index (LPI)https://artdesignp.com/journal/PBES/8/8/10.26689/pbes.v8i8.13385YangZijiang2025882025-12-31As the world’s largest free trade agreement, the effective implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) relies heavily on an efficient and smooth logistics system among member states. The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) released by the World Bank is the first global indicator to evaluate the level of national logistics development. Multi-dimensional analysis using the LPI helps explore new paths for high-level logistics development. This study takes the latest 2023 Logistics Performance Index (LPI) released by the World Bank as the core analytical tool, conducts a systematic comparison of the current logistics development status of 15 RCEP member states, and studies countermeasures to promote the development of regional trade logistics under RCEP.
