Ukrzaliznytsia Supervisory Board Chairman Gepard Hafer announced the presentation of the company’s corporate transformation and management plan to representatives of international financial institutions and government agencies. The high-level seminar was organized by the World Bank with the participation of the IFC, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank, the European Commission, relevant Ukrainian ministries, the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, and the embassies of Switzerland and Austria.
According to Hafer, the plan includes comprehensive short- and long-term measures aimed at ensuring the company’s financial stability, implementing a target operating model, strengthening corporate governance and integrity, launching a digital transparency system, rationalizing assets, and strengthening the balance sheet. Priorities also include regulating access to infrastructure and participating in the Multi-Annual Infrastructure Contract (MAIC), launching the PSO mechanism for passenger transportation, and attracting investment to restore and enhance the resilience of the industry.
A year ago, the company’s supervisory board approved a corporate development strategy for 2025–2030, defining goals in the areas of sustainability, safety, operational efficiency, economic impact, and customer focus. However, the strategy was never publicly presented. In the fall of 2025, the supervisory board was partially renewed, and market participants cited ensuring passenger compensation, unbundling, increasing transparency, cost optimization, and reviewing the debt policy as key objectives for the new board.
