LOGISTIC INFRASTRUCTURE OF UKRAINE IN INTERNATIONAL RANKINGS

The analysis of international rankings of logistic infrastructure by country and region, analysis of the place of Ukraine in these rankings are made in the article. In particular, Logistics Performance Index (LPI) shows that Ukraine performs one and a half worse than the leader – Germany. Ukraine shows a negative trend of LPI even against countries with lower average incomes. The undisputed leader in this group is India. Ukraine occupies only 35th place in accordance with the index of developing logistics markets, according to the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index. Ukraine ranked 137th out of 144 in the road quality rating from the World Economic Forum. The problems of the components of logistic infrastructure in terms of types of transport development are demonstrated, and the prospects of their development in the light of integration of our state into the world economic space and European logistics infrastructure are presented. The main problems of virtually all structural elements of logistic infrastructure in Ukraine are the high level of its physical and moral deterioration. In fact, the logistics infrastructure of all types of transport for years has not been properly supported, has not been updated and now does not meet the requirements of international logistics operators. The development of transport infrastructure is an important factor not only for integrating Ukraine into the world economic market, but also for integrating the social and economic space of Ukraine, which not only links the regional system of settlement and production but also contributes to the specialization and co-operation of economic agents.
