Most Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries fall short of their global counterparts in the World Bank’s Logistics Performance Index, with notable exceptions. Despite having the necessary infrastructure—including domestic ports, airports, and economic zones for facilitating trade—these nations still depend heavily on foreign and global entities for logistics. This reliance highlights the potential for improvement within the region’s logistics sector, emphasizing the need for enhanced local capabilities to boost trade efficiency and competitiveness. As the GCC continues to develop its strategic logistics framework, there is a significant opportunity to elevate its ranking and strengthen its position in global commerce.
