Understanding Monetary Policy and Its Impact on the Trucking Industry

“Uncle, I’ve heard that bank interest rates are skyrocketing lately. Should I still borrow money to invest in a truck?” – Mr. Bay, owner of a small grocery store, asked Uncle Tu, a seasoned truck owner in Hanoi.

Uncle Tu chuckled: “Fluctuations in interest rates are a result of monetary policy! If you want to succeed in business, you need to understand this game. Let me explain it to you!”

What is Monetary Policy?

Simply put, monetary policy is like the steering wheel of the economic ship. It’s a set of measures used by the State Bank to control the money supply and interest rates in the economy. The ultimate goal? To stabilize prices, promote economic growth, and ensure employment.

The Powerful Tools of Monetary Policy

To steer the economic ship, the State Bank has three main tools:

1. Interest Rate Adjustment: Like adjusting the speed of a vehicle, increasing interest rates will slow down the economic engine, while decreasing them will accelerate it.

2. Changing the Reserve Requirement Ratio: This is the percentage of money that commercial banks must deposit at the State Bank. Increasing this ratio means less money is injected into the economy, and vice versa.

3. Open Market Operations (OMO): The State Bank buys or sells securities on the market to adjust the money supply in circulation.

In reality, monetary policy has a significant impact on the trucking industry, especially on truck financing.

• Rising Interest Rates: Borrowing money to buy a truck becomes more expensive, reducing demand and affecting the operations of transportation businesses.
• Falling Interest Rates: Conversely, attractive loan interest rates stimulate demand for trucks, boosting production and business activities.
