On April 15, Ho Chi Minh City introduced an interest rate support policy for logistics sector loans, allowing subsidies for investments up to VND200 billion (US$7.6 million) per project. The policy encourages projects related to warehouse automation, digital technology, and clean energy transport, aiming to mobilize larger private investments through state subsidies.
However, challenges remain in land acquisition and loan accessibility, particularly for foreign firms and small enterprises. The subsidy, approximately 2 percent annually, is designed to reduce financing costs while HFIC collaborates with commercial banks to create a synchronized financial model, enhancing overall project implementation and logistics modernization in the city.
