The Romanian government approved a new performance contract for CFR SA, the national railway company, covering the period 2026-2030. This decision unlocks state funding to CFR, which had been previously stalled. The contract introduces significant changes, moving away from section-based railway accounting practices. It also outlines adjustments to bonus structures for CFR employees, indicating potential reductions. According to State Secretary Horațiu Cosma, the renewed funding is crucial for CFR’s operations. The new regulations aim to improve CFR’s performance and financial stability over the next five years, although details on specific performance targets weren’t immediately available. The approval marks a pivotal step in the modernization and financial reorganization of Romania’s railway system.
