The Financial Keys Unlocking Green Logistics in Vietnam

As Vietnam deeply integrates into the global supply chain, green logistics has become an essential trend and a mandatory requirement for enterprises (DN) to meet increasingly stringent international environmental standards, such as the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

Current Status and Challenges:

Significant Potential: Vietnam’s logistics sector has a market size of $40-42 billion USD, boasts high growth rates (14-16% per year), and ranks 43rd in the global Logistics Performance Index (LPI).
Major Barrier: The transition to green logistics faces difficulties due to the high investment cost required for clean vehicles, energy-efficient warehousing, smart containers, and digitization systems.
The Green Finance Problem: Green credit in Vietnam is still nascent, accounting for only about 4.35% of the total outstanding loans, and mainly focuses on the energy and agriculture sectors. This makes it difficult for logistics enterprises, particularly SMEs, to access the necessary capital. The total green capital demand until 2050 is estimated to reach $700 billion USD.

The Pivotal Role of Financial Policy:

Economic experts emphasize that green logistics cannot develop organically without timely, robust, and effective financial support policies. Synchronous solutions are needed, such as:

Tax incentives and interest rate support mechanisms to ease the initial investment burden.
Finalizing the legal framework for green finance to attract capital sources.
Mobilizing green credit from banks and international financial institutions.

Financial policy plays the “key role” in helping enterprises overcome capital barriers, accelerate the greening process, and enhance international competitive advantages (Source: Nhan Dan Newspaper).
