Presidential Candidate number 01, Joko Widodo, highlighted that infrastructure and logistics remain crucial aspects requiring attention. Compared to other countries, Indonesia's infrastructure is considered lagging, resulting in extremely high logistics transportation costs.
According to World Bank data, the 2018 Logistics Performance Index (LPI) was 3.15 on a scale of 1-5. A score closer to 5 indicates better logistics competitiveness, while a score closer to 1 indicates worse competitiveness.
Indonesia's logistics competitiveness index is below that of Singapore (4.0), Thailand (3.41), Vietnam (3.27), and Malaysia (3.22). However, Indonesia's competitiveness has shown improvement over several years; its 2018 ranking of 46th globally was its best since 2010.
