On the 27 day, the Chinese government website issued some opinions on further strengthening railway construction management. joint venture The preparatory group of the company and the small and medium-sized joint venture projects may be commissioned by the joint venture company to organize the construction of the Railway Bureau or organize their own construction. Insiders said that the Ministry of Railways was forced by debt pressure to open the road of reform.

The debt ratio of the Ministry of Railways has reached 58%. As the main banks raise their lending rates to the Ministry of railways, the Ministry of Railways has also made loans from banks difficult. The high debt and financing difficulties of the Ministry of railways are becoming the bottleneck restricting the development of China's railways. Many railway infrastructure project managers also told reporters that since the beginning of this year, investment in railway infrastructure has slowed down. capital In the absence of the right place, there has been varying degrees of downtime, half stoppage and slow progress. Wages of some workers have not been paid on time.

He said that the capital demand for railway infrastructure is large, and the money is tight now. financing Difficult situations can hardly be changed in the short term.
