Investors eager for Warsaw Commuter Rail privatization
Eight companies are interested in participating in the privatization of
Warsaw Commuter Rail (WKD). The list of candidates has not been closed yet.
Potential investors, both Polish and foreign, may place offers until the end
of the week. As of now only Polski Express, bus transport company, confirmed
its bid. The final date of the tender is not known yet. It depends on when
Sejm passes the act concerning restructuring, privatization and
commercialization of Polish State Railways (PKP). Deputies have promised
this act will pass Sejm by the end of June. But it is hard to predict when
the whole legislative process, which also needs the Senate's approval and
President's signature, is to be complete. (Puls Biznesu, page 5) A.D.
