The PBC Container Index is an independent operational indicator for assessing the cost of container cargo imports, as well as the general state of the transport and logistics services market in the China-Russia corridor. The PBC container index reflects the dynamics of spot rates for transport and logistics services for the delivery of container cargo from China, Russia’s largest foreign trade partner, which accounts for up to 40% of the value of commodity imports, as well as up to 80% of container cargo imports.
