Poland’s railway sector will now receive stable funding, ending years of inequality compared to road investments.
Long-Fought Equality
Construction industry and experts have advocated for equal treatment between railway and road investments for years, highlighting the disparity in funding approaches.
Funding Disparity
While expressways and highways benefit from consistent National Road Fund financing, railway investments have largely depended on fluctuating EU grant cycles, causing significant delays.
Impact of Political Disputes
During the PiS government’s tenure, disputes with Brussels regarding EU funds led to a near three-year period where PKP Polish Railways significantly reduced the number of announced tenders.
