Work is ongoing to develop a PPP financing model aimed at attracting additional funding that could accelerate project implementation and, in the long term, reduce the financial burden on the Baltic states’ budgets during the construction of infrastructure. Discussions are currently underway with investors to assess which sections and assets of the Rail Baltica infrastructure would be most suitable for implementation under the PPP model, maximizing the benefits of private sector involvement.
According to the European Commission’s vision, the PPP approach is encouraged and supported, as demonstrated by other international infrastructure projects. Initial talks with potential private investors and financiers have yielded positive signals and indicate a strong interest in participating in the Rail Baltica project. Combined with government support, this highlights the clear potential of a PPP strategy within Rail Baltica.
