Post-pandemic postal power-up
The Universal Postal Union (UPU) has published its first ‘State of the Postal Sector’ report, which identifies a link between countries’ postal development and national economic growth.
The report finds a correlation between the levels of postal development and the intensity of post-pandemic economic recovery, meaning a well-functioning postal network led to greater economic recovery after the global health crisis. Without postal services, a country’s GDP would fall by nearly 7%, according to the report.
The report was released at the UPU’s fourth extraordinary congress in Riyadh, and recognised countries showing the most promising development over the previous year, including Austria, France, Germany, Japan and Switzerland. (mk)
