2IPD provides an overview of postal development around the globe. The results for 2019 cover 172 countries. The computation of the 2IPD stems from the integration of UPU postal big data – with over 22.9 billion tracking records since 2013 checked and analyzed –, official UPU statistics, and key UPU surveys.

This index offers a benchmark performance score (from 0 to 100) along four dimensions of postal development: reliability, reach, relevance and resilience.

In addition to revealing the relative performance of postal operators around the world, the 2IPD sheds light on how to foster postal development and maximize the efficiency of postal infrastructure. Nhan Dan
