The Seminar on “Financial Policy for Green Logistics Development,” organized by the Economic and Financial Review in collaboration with Vinexad in Ho Chi Minh City on the afternoon of July 31st, attracted the participation of leading experts and nearly 200 businesses operating in logistics, seaports, and financial institutions.
Green Logistics: An Inevitable Trend and Major Challenge
- Importance: Developing sustainable and environmentally friendly logistics is an imperative requirement as the global economy shifts towards green and circular practices, and is crucial for Vietnam to fulfill its Net Zero commitment announced at COP26.
- Industry Status: Vietnam’s logistics market has significant scale (US$40-42 billion) with a high growth rate (14–16%/year), yet costs remain high (accounting for 16–18% of GDP). Furthermore, the logistics sector is a notable source of carbon emissions (especially in road transport).
- Challenges: Vietnamese enterprises face significant barriers related to capital, green technology, professional capacity, and difficulties in accessing green finance, particularly for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
The Role of Financial Policy
The seminar focused on analyzing and proposing practical solutions to remove financial barriers, including:
- Green Credit: Creating favorable conditions for businesses to borrow capital for investments in clean technology and vehicles.
- Tax Incentives, Interest Rate Subsidies, and the establishment of a technology innovation fund to reduce the initial investment burden on businesses.
The seminar served as a vital forum connecting policymakers, experts, financial organizations, and the logistics business community, offering feasible policy suggestions and driving a shift in mindset and concrete actions for the logistics industry in the coming period.
