WRI’s assessment

Israel’s Logistics Growth Index rose to 50.6 in October 2026, up 2.1 points from a revised 48.5 in September, crossing into expansion. The rise was driven by the Transportation Index, which climbed to 54.5; vessel data pointed to more port calls but not more cargo.

“Logistics activity in Israel moved into growth in October, with vessel data pointing to more ships calling at its ports. Trade volumes looked broadly stable, suggesting the rise did not come from more cargo.”
