Investment Appeal

Key drivers of FPC’s investment appeal:

• A monopolistic position in the long-distance rail passenger transport market in Russia
• FPC is vital both socially and strategically to Russia as the leading transport operator for long- and medium-distance travel spanning most of the country, including travel to regions with extreme natural and climatic conditions and lacking road and air infrastructure
• Significant growth potential of population mobility
• Railway services to support major passenger flows in Russia
• A conservative financial policy and low debt level
• State-regulated fares for long-distance rail passenger services and compensation of revenue shortfall paid by the Russian Government
• Low competition from international companies in the domestic rail passenger services market due to high entry barriers for new players entering the Russian market
• Strategic importance in achieving the long-term objectives of the state-owned RZD Holding.
