Big leap in world ranking logistics efficiency of the World Bank (Logistics Performance Index) Ukraine has implemented over the past two years. According to Dmitry Seleznev from the company «PGK GROUPE» the country shifted from 102 place in 2010 to 66 – in 2012. At the same time, the nearest neighbours of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia fell in the rankings and occupied 91 and 95 places respectively.
Obviously, in Ukraine this growth is due to the gradual elimination of typical logistics market problems in the FSU. This lack of development of the network of roads, lack of modern cargo terminals, a high level of deterioration of road, rail and other transport component, as well as increasing its obsolescence.
At the same time, according to Dmitry Seleznev, the turnover of Ukrainian market of e-commerce increased by an average of 60-80% yearly, and in some product categories – by 150-200%. And it is, according to analysts, more than $ 1 billion. Acceleration of market growth could contribute to the determination of procedures for handling electronic money, the availability of cheap credit for the development, improvement of tax and customs codes.
