Qatar improved the performance of its logistics services chain by about 21 percent, according to the World Bank's biennial Logistics Performance Report.
This, the report added, exceeded the global Logistics Performance Index average growth of 5.1 percent from 2.74 points in 2007 to about 2.88 in 2016.
"As a result of this exceptional progress, Qatar's ranking jumped from the 46th place globally in 2007 to 30th in 2016. Also, Qatar is ranked 30th globally and second in the Arab world in terms of the competence and quality of logistics services ” ahead of 130 countries worldwide, including developed economies," the report said.
Another study released by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce showed that the transport sector and auxiliary transport activities generated QR46.5 billion in revenues in 2015, compared to QR25.6 billion in 2010, an annual increase of 13 percent.
The study also revealed that the maritime transport sector, which provides services through three facilities, has also expanded its services. Total revenues grew from QR3.7 billion in 2010 to QR6.1 billion in 2015, accounting for 12 percent of the transport sector revenues.
The land transport sector has also expanded, with total revenues of QR3.3 billion, a 75 percent increase in revenues compared to 2010.
The study showed that the air transport sector, which forms the backbone of the tourism industry and supports a wide range of shipping services, has largely contributed to an 80-percent growth achieved by the transport sector.
The revenues of the air transport sector currently account for nearly three-quarters of the revenues generated by the transport sector and auxiliary transports activities.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce forecasts that demand for logistics services will continue to expand in coming years, driven by growth and expansion in other productive and service activities that depend on this sector.
The expansion of the sector will also be supported by the measures taken by Qatar and the implementation of projects to improve the efficiency of the sector.
