Guvernul aprobă strategia feroviară 2026-2030: contractul CFR poate fi semnat, iar salariile pot fi plătite • Newsweek România

The Romanian government has approved the Railway Infrastructure Development Strategy for 2026-2030, enabling the signing of the CFR performance contract necessary for salary payments. This strategy addresses the severe underfunding of the railway network over the past 35 years, with financial allocations from 2021-2025 covering only 45.76% of actual needs. The government aims to halt the technical decline of the railway and accelerate overdue repairs. Key objectives include improving competitiveness, integrating into the European rail space, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. The strategy is expected to significantly impact daily life and the national economy by shifting transport from roads to rail.
