Poland is investing a record 54 billion złoty in railway projects, with additional funds in the pipeline, though protests threaten to jeopardize EU subsidies.
Historic Investment in Railways
In the last two years, Poland has significantly accelerated announcing tenders to keep pace with spending EU funds. This has resulted in a record amount of 54 billion złoty that will enter the market for railway projects in the coming years.
Current Tender Landscape
At the end of 2023, concluded contracts included 14.4 billion złoty to be spent, with just under 3 billion in announced tenders. By the end of 2025, this grew to almost 30 billion złoty in signed contracts and just under 25 billion in announced tenders.
Future Funding Pipeline
Additional funds are expected soon, with additional amounts for PKP PLK likely to be confirmed under the SAFE program. The CPK company will also be announcing railway tenders, further expanding the investment pipeline.
