Abstract

Ülkelerin lojistik performansları ticari akış içerisinde önem arz etmektedir. Tedarik zinciri sürecinin bir parçası olan lojistik ticari süreçlerin bel kemiğini oluşturur. Bu doğrultuda Dünya Bankası tarafından ortaya konulan Lojistik Performans Endeksi (LPI) bir gösterge olarak kabul edilebilir. LPI ile ülkeler ticaret ve lojistik alanlarındaki faaliyetlerin etkinliğini değerlendirme imkanı elde ederler. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2023 yılı LPI değerlerini kullanarak bütünleşik Entropi-MOORA Referans Yaklaşımı ile Afrika ülkelerinin sıralamasını ve analizini yapmaktır. Çalışmanın derinliğini artırmak amacıyla Türkiye ve Afrika ülkeleri arasındaki 2022 yılına ait ticaret verileri de baz alınarak bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Çalışmada Afrika ülkelerinin MOORA Referans Yaklaşımı ile tanımlanan altı kriter temelinde sıralanması ve ticaret rakamları doğrultusunda Türkiye’nin Afrika ülkeleriyle ticari ilişkilerinin geliştirilmesi hususunda perspektif sunulmuştur. Çalışma sonuçlarına bakıldığında LPI ülkeler sıralamasında Güney Afrika birinci, Botswana ikinci iken Libya son sırada yer almaktadır. Türkiye’nin kıta ülkeleriyle ticaret hacminde ise Güney Afrika beşinci, Botsvana elli üçüncü iken Libya üçüncü sıradadır. Dolayısıyla mevcut durumda LPI ve ticaret verileri arasında korelasyon bulunamamıştır.

Logistics Performance Index of Africa: An Indicator for Türkiye and Africa Trade Relations?

Year 2024, Volume: 15 Issue: 42, 553 - 569, 29.05.2024

Abstract

The logistics performance of countries is important in trade flows. As part of the supply chain process, logistics is the backbone of trade processes. In this direction, the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) put forward by the World Bank can be considered as an indicator. With the LPI, countries have the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of their activities in trade and logistics. The aim of the study is to rank and analyze African countries with the integrated Entropy-MOORA Reference Approach using the LPI values for 2023. In order to increase the depth of the study, an evaluation is made based on the trade data between Türkiye and African countries for 2022. The study aims to rank African countries on the basis of six criteria defined by the MOORA Reference Approach and to provide a perspective on the development of Türkiye’s trade relations with African countries in line with trade figures. According to the results of the study, South Africa ranks first, Botswana second, and Libya last in the ranking of LPI countries. Türkiye’s trade volume with the continent, South Africa ranks fifth, Botswana fifty-third, and Libya third. Therefore, there is no correlation between LPI and trade data in current situation.
