According to the 2IPD ranking recently announced by the Universal Postal Union (UPU), Viet Nam scores 51.79 points, an increase of 0.06 points compared to 2018.

In Southeast Asia, Viet Nam ranks fourth, behind Singapore (18th out of 172 countries), Thailand (29th) and Malaysia (33rd).

Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan, Germany and France are the top five countries in the UPU’s 2IPD 2019 ranking.

2IPD is a composite index providing an overview of postal development around the world. Despite having been announced just three times (2016, 2018 and 2019), 2IPD has been widely recognized as a measure of the competitiveness and efficiency of the postal industry in each country.

The index has been used by policymakers, postal experts and researchers to evaluate and compare postal development./.
