Railway Fund like a mirage
The IGTL and RBF express concerns about a potential investment downturn in the railway sector by 2027, linked to EU financial perspectives. They criticize the Railway Fund reform for failing to ensure continuous investment, which is crucial for long-term planning. Limited orders and delayed contracts are leading to unhealthy price competition and economic risks. They advocate for expanding funding sources for the Railway Fund, including EU refunds and National Fund flows, to enhance investment liquidity. The urgency of reform has been acknowledged by government officials and political parties since early 2024, with ongoing discussions about its implementation.
