<\/p>\n

The European Business Association has appealed to the Ministry for Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine to reconsider the proposed 30% increase in rail freight tariffs envisaged by the draft order amending the coefficients applied to the Tariff Schedule for Rail Freight Transportation.<\/p>\n

Member companies of the Association\u2019s Logistics Committee have expressed concern over the proposed initiative, noting that its economic rationale requires further assessment. In the business community\u2019s view, the potential negative impact on the economy could outweigh the additional revenue that Ukrzaliznytsia<\/span><\/span> expects to generate through the tariff increase.<\/p>\n

According to an assessment<\/a> by the State Enterprise Ukrainian Industry Expertise, a sharp increase in rail freight transportation costs could have significant adverse consequences for the economy. In particular, it may lead to a reduction in freight volumes, lower competitiveness of Ukrainian producers, declining production and exports, and reduced state budget revenues. At the same time, it could also negatively affect Ukrzaliznytsia\u2019s own financial performance due to a further decrease in transportation volumes.<\/p>\n

The business community believes that the financial sustainability challenges faced by the railway operator are systemic and cannot be resolved solely by increasing freight tariffs. According to estimates by the Association\u2019s member companies, the freight segment generated approximately UAH 20 billion in operating profit annually in 2023\u20132024, indicating that other factors are contributing to the company\u2019s financial position.<\/p>\n

Among the key issues that, in the business community\u2019s opinion, require priority attention are the chronic losses incurred by passenger transportation services, insufficient state funding of the Public Service Obligation (PSO) mechanism, and the maintenance of a substantial amount of economically unprofitable railway infrastructure. According to the Committee\u2019s experts, these issues require comprehensive solutions alongside improvements in the company\u2019s operational efficiency and cost optimisation.<\/p>\n

In light of the above, the European Business Association calls for the proposed 30% tariff increase to be reconsidered in favour of a moderate, economically justified adjustment following open consultations with the business community. According to the Association\u2019s member companies, any tariff revision should be limited to the minimum necessary level, estimated at around 5\u201310%.<\/p>\n

In addition, businesses urge the government to ensure full state financing of passenger transportation under the PSO mechanism, continue optimising Ukrzaliznytsia\u2019s costs by improving labour productivity, reviewing the company\u2019s cost base, and rationalising loss-making infrastructure, as well as introduce measures to stimulate rail freight transportation in support of Ukrainian industry and exports.<\/p>\n

The business community recognises the importance of ensuring the stable operation of Ukrzaliznytsia as a strategic infrastructure company. At the same time, its financial stabilisation should primarily be based on systemic reforms and greater operational efficiency, rather than placing additional tariff burdens on freight shippers, particularly amid the ongoing war, declining industrial output, and challenging logistics conditions.<\/p>\n
