Project description
Provision of a sovereign loan for the benefit of Serbian Railways Infrastructure (the “Company” or “SRI”), the state-owned and sole national railway infrastructure asset management company of Serbia. The transaction will finance the rehabilitation and upgrade of the rail infrastructure of rail Corridor X (“Corridor X”), the railway line connecting Belgrade to Niš (c. 243 km-long), with the aim to increase speed to up to 200 kph (therefore significantly reducing the travel time between the two cities) while enhancing quality of passenger and freight rail services.
The modernization of Corridor X is one of the main investments in the railway sector carried out by the Government of Serbia, for it is an axis of national importance connecting Western and Central Europe with Greece, Turkey and the Middle East.
