CFR Marfa privatisation saga continues

March 26
16:01 2014

After a first failed privatization attempt last year, the selling process of CFR Marfa, the Romanian state-owned rail freight operator, will be resumed in a couple of months and will be conducted through the new Privatization Department which will operate under the Ministry of Economy, Transport Minister Dan Sova declared to the local press.

“We will resume the sale of CFR Marfă, but it is hard to say when, as deadline, whether there will be one month, or two months. What I can say is that the privatisation will not be made by the Ministry of Transport, but by the new Privatisation Department established under the suborder of the Ministry of Economy and which will have attributions of implicated public institution, without taking over the shareholder attributions."
