Επενδύσεις 100 Εκατ. στην ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ Εξετάζει το Ρωσικό Σιδηροδρομικό μονοπώλιο.

To ρωσικό σιδηροδρομικό μονοπώλιο RZD είναι έτοιμο να επενδύσει τουλάχιστον 100 εκατ. ευρώ στην υπό αποκρατικοποίηση ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ, είπε την Τετάρτη ο επικεφαλής της ρωσικής εταιρίας Βλαντιμίρ Γιακούνιν.
Η δήλωση του Γιακούνιν επιβεβαιώνει ότι οι ρωσικοί σιδηρόδρομοι είναι μεταξύ των τριών ενδιαφερομένων για την απόκτηση της ελληνικής εταιρίας, σχολιάζει το Reuters.

Πηγή κοντά στην διαδικασία είχε πει στο Reuters τον Σεπτέμβριο ότι η RZD εξετάζει την υποβολή προσφοράς για την ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ, από κοινού με την ΓΕΚ Τέρνα.

Εκτός από την ελληνορωσική κοινοπραξία, ενδιαφέρον έχουν εκδηλώσει και η γαλλική SNCF και η ρουμανική Grampet Group.



H ελληνορωσική κοινοπραξία ενδιαφέρεται επίσης για την θυγατρική του ΟΣΕ ROSCO που είναι πιθανό να την φέρει αντιμέτωπη με την γερμανική Siemens και την γαλλική εταιρία μηχανολογικού εξοπλισμού Alstom.

«Θέλουμε να επενδύσουμε ιδιαίτερα στην ΤΡΑΙΝΟΣΕ», είπε ο Γιακούνιν στον τηλεοπτικό σταθμό Αlpha TV. «Θέλουμε να επενδύσουμε πολλά λεφτά ... εφ'όσον είμαστε σίγουροι ότι η ελληνική κυβέρνηση θα μας υποστηρίξει».

Ο Γιακούνιν θεωρείται ένας από τους παλαιότερους συμμάχους και υποστηρικτές του Ρώσου προέδρου Βλαντιμίρ Πούτιν.

Ερωτώμενος για το ύψος των επενδύσεων είπε: «Μπορώ σίγουρα να πω ότι πρόκειται για ένα ποσό των 100 εκατ. ευρώ».

Οι δηλώσεις του Γιακούνιν ήταν μεταφρασμένες στα ελληνικά από τον Αlpha.

Η RZD μεταφέρει ετησίως περίπου 1,3 δισ. επιβάτες στη Ρωσία. Εισφέρει το 2,5% του ρωσικού ΑΕΠ και απασχολεί 950.000 εργαζομένους.

Ο Γιακούνιν συνόδευε στην Αθήνα τον Ρώσο υπουργό Εξωτερικών Σ.Λαβρόφ ο οποίος συναντήθηκε την Τετάρτη με τον πρωθυπουργό Αντώνη Σαμαρά και τον Πρόεδρο της Δημοκρατίας Κάρολο Παπούλια.

Russia seeks to privatize its suffering ‘friend’ Greece. -Greece is also home to a robust Russian diaspora.

Russian investors are pursuing deals to help cash-strapped Greece privatize its economy and pay off its huge debt. Russian Railways RZD may take a 100 percent state in Greek’s TRAINOSE, and Gazprom has renewed talks with state-owned gas company DEPA.
Valentina Matviyenko, the Speaker of the upper house of Russia's Parliament has expressed her government's vested interest in the Greek economy. She's traveling with a group of Russian investors looking to to get a slice of Greece's privatization.
"Our position is that would not be an acquisition of assets, but rather a support for friendly Greece at the complicated economic stage," Matvienko said.

Greece hopes privatization and expansion of the railway will help it contribute to the 19 billion euro target Greece aims to raise to cut debt. Greece has received over $315 billion (240 billion euros) since 2010 from Troika lenders. 

With Russian investments in Greek railways estimated at up to $3 bln annually, Greece would become part of the Eurasian transportation network, bringing both more passengers and goods to and from Europe. 

TRAINOSE transports 15 million passengers and 4.5 million tonnes of freight annually, and posted 148.2 million euros in revenue. In June it was valued at 30 million euros.
Greece’s crisis, which has haunted the economy for 6 years, has forced it to dismantle and privatize its state assets to meet its austerity targets under the international bailout plan. In July, Greece failed to sell-off its national gas company DEPA. Gazprom, Russia’s state-owned natural gas giant, backed out of buying DEPA at the last minute, citing concerns over the company’s financial stability. But it is now again in talks with the company. 

On Tuesday Valentina Matviyenko, arguably one of the most powerful women in Russia, is wrapping up her three-day visit to Greece in her role as Chairman of the Federation Council. 
Matiyenko met with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, was awarded the Gold Medal of the Greek Parliament in a special ceremony, discussed energy industries, the Syrian conflict, and Greek’s upcoming presidency of the EU, which will run January-June 2014.
Matviyenko’s visit to Greece is significant, as she can use her sway as parliament speaker, as well as her business connections as ex-mayor of St. Petersburg, to smooth Russia-Greece economic cooperation. 

Russia and Greece have long had close economic ties mainly through tourism.

In 2012, 1.2 million Russians visited Greece on holiday. Russians are known for their lavish spending habits abroad, Matviyenko said, and estimated each individual Russian tourist spends on average 1000 euro on shopping and entertainment, a direct cash injection into Greece’s troubled economy.  

  • The two countries are working to together to lift travel visa restrictions, in order to get more tourist revenue from Russia.
  • Greece is also home to a  robust Russian diaspora- nearly 300,000 Russian nationals now reside some 1,400 miles south of Moscow, largely a result of emigration.

Russian Railways look at Greek transportation assets

Russian Railways (RZD) is seeking to acquire one of the key Greek ports and two transportation assets for an estimated €140 million. The deal would suit the company's plan to invest more into the European market.
RZD wrote to Russian President Vladimir Putin asking for permission to take part in the privatization of the port of Thessaloniki, as well as the country’s sole railway services provider TRAINOSE and the Rolling Stock & Railroad Maintenance Company ROSCO, says Kommersant daily.

Vladimir Yakunin, RZD head, said he had already received preliminary pricing for the assets from the Greek Ministries. The Thessaloniki port is estimated at €100 million, with the price tag for TRAINOSE of at least €30  million, and ROSCO likely to cost €10 million.

Given the strategic role the acquisition would play for Russia’s plans to expand into Europe, RZD hopes that the Russian state would finance the deal. Russian Railways also says it’s ready to bid for the Greek assets in a consortium with a foreign partner. Railways of France (Réseau Ferré de France) is one of the possible options.

The selection of bidders in the privatization of Greek assets may start this month. Companies from China, France and some of the Arab states are among the other suitors.

Vladimir Yakunin says RZD needs to diversify and turn into a transportation and logistics company, with the acquisition perfectly suiting the strategy.

“RZD has a unique opportunity to unite railway and port projects in Greece with its Serbian projects on infrastructure development that are underway. The monopoly also gets a special chance to use the potential of the acquired logistics company GEFCO to increase transportation volumes in the corresponding transport corridor,” Vladimir Yakunin said.
 
Should Russian Railway become more of a logistics company its cargo business could more than double to $180.6 billion.

Russian Railway has been showing interest in Greek assets for more than a year, with the companies chief stressing that “the company can’t realize such projects without the government’s consent.”
