PKP PLK with PN 10 bln capex for 2018

State-owned railway infrastructure operator PKP PLK has set this year’s capex at PLN 10 billion, up from PLN 5 billion last year, Deputy Infrastructure Minister Andrzej Bittel said. “Due to the fact that the increase is significant, we will stay in very close contact with the contractors. I will personally supervise some of the projects because while we value our partners, we also need to keep a close eye on them,” Bittel said. PKP PLK CEO Ireneusz Merchel pointed out that at the beginning of last year the value of signed contracts was below PLN 8 billion, while this year it’s at PLN 26 billion.
