GFRI

The Global Freight Resilience Index© (GFRI) was launched in January 2020 in Davos alongside the World Economic Forum annual meeting. The Index comprises three sub-pillars: Policy Opportunity, Freight Performance and Urgency to Act. It takes into consideration indicators at the country-level:

The policy opportunity pillar analyses a country’s current trajectory and potential for further improving its macro-environmental factors, specifically, institutional, economic, social, and technological factors. Indicators in this pillar evaluate a government’s conduciveness to trade by assessing its overall economic resilience.
The freight performance pillar analyses a country’s relative performance in trade, freight and logistics. Indicators in this pillar evaluate the level of service and the relative success in trade and logistics performance.
The urgency to act pillar provides a measure of the magnitude of misalignment between a country’s policy opportunity and freight performance indicators and thus, the degree of criticality to take actions.

Countries with high freight resilience have macro-economic environments that effectively leverage their logistics infrastructure to create global trade opportunities. They convert these opportunities into tangible results by providing advantages in cost, time and service delivery. A resilient freight market is defined as one having the ability to sustain trade flows for a wide range of markets. Resilient freight markets can withstand external shocks because of their flexibility and adaptability.
