Saudi Arabia rises to eighth globally in Universal Postal Union index

Saudi Arabia has advanced in the Integrated Index for Postal Development (2IPD) issued by the Universal Postal Union, moving from level seven to level eight out of ten, with level ten representing the highest standard of postal performance and development.

The index evaluates countries based on four main dimensions: reliability, reach, relevance, and resilience. This achievement highlights the rapid progress of Saudi Arabia’s postal sector and the ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and global competitiveness of its postal services, supported by the transport and logistics sector.

This progress aligns with the objectives of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, part of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to establish the Kingdom as a global logistics hub.

The postal development index is an international benchmark that measures the advancement of postal services worldwide, allowing for performance comparisons between countries. Saudi Arabia’s improved ranking reflects the enhanced efficiency of its operational processes, service quality, and network reliability, as well as its ability to adapt to technological and logistical changes, contributing to a better user experience and greater international competitiveness.

The report also highlighted the role of Saudi Post (SPL) in developing postal services and logistical enablers, strengthening operational reliability and tracking efficiency, supporting supply chain integration, and reinforcing the Kingdom’s position in the global postal and logistics sector.
