Ukrainian Railways — CEO counts on IFIs to facilitate Eurobond restructuring

IFIs may facilitate the restructuring of RAILUA Eurobonds due 2026 and 2028 by “providing additional liquidity in the deal,” Ukrainian Railways CEO Oleksandr Pertsovskyi said. Pertsovskyi also noted that he is waiting for the finalization of the planned 30% freight tariff increase before proceeding with a revised restructuring proposal and that a deal could be reached this year, provided tariffs are increased as planned, IFIs provide financing, and bondholders remain pragmatic. He reiterated that the company is seeking restructuring terms consistent with its long-term financial position rather than a quick agreement that may need to be revisited in a few years.
