WRI’s assessment
Singapore’s Logistics Growth Index advanced to 53.5 in August 2026, a 0.4-point gain that places the reading above its three-month average. The expansion was primarily propelled by business sentiment, while the Transportation Index and Business Volume Index accelerated on robust air and sea freight activity alongside surging external demand for electronics and AI-related goods.
