Abstract
This summary report assembles and
distills the main finding and recommendations of five
separate policy notes that originated in a request from
Ukraine’s Ministry of Infrastructure (MoI) and state-owned
railway company, JSC Ukrzaliznytsia (UZ) to the World Bank
to help address specific topics concerning Ukraine’s railway
sector. The topics were: (1) railway market opening for
cargo services; (2) loss-making long-distance passenger
services; (3) selected Cargo business issues; (4) debt
management; and (5) infrastructure asset management and
prioritization of investment. Asset management strategy and
life-cycle costing in the renewal and reconstruction of UZ’s
railway infrastructure network. This summary note is
organized with the market opening as the anchor for
catalyzing and achieving the modernization of UZ and putting
it in a strong position to compete with other railways once
the market is opened. And while many of the regulatory and
institutional actions will depend on the pending railway
law, UZ and MoI can continue and in some cases start
preparations to be ready once the law is passed.
