The government has decided to allocate 250 tons of diesel fuel from the state reserves to support the activity of the state enterprise “Railway of Moldova”. The measure comes in the context of the financial and operational difficulties faced by the company, reports IPN.

According to the authorities, the approved quantity of diesel will contribute to the maintenance of CFM’s activity, ensuring the operation of train sets, the resumption of some suspended routes, and reducing the risk of bankruptcy. The decision includes the allocation from the Government’s reserve fund of over 5.3 million lei for the completion of state reserves, money that will be managed by the Material Reserves Agency under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Through this intervention, the Government aims to create the conditions for the continuation of transport activities, with direct benefits for citizens and economic operators who depend on the services of CFM.

According to the document, the release of diesel fuel from state reserves will facilitate passenger movement and freight traffic on the railway, maintaining a competitive environment in the transport services market and contributing to the stability of the railway sector in the Republic of Moldova.
