State enterprise, Railway of Moldova, to be reorganized by end of 2026; parliament adopts draft

Chisinau, October 8, 2026 – The state enterprise, Railway of Moldova (CFM), will be reorganized by December 31, 2026. A draft providing for this had been passed by the parliament in its second reading.

The draft on the reorganization of state enterprise, Railway of Moldova, was drafted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, in accordance with the Reform Agenda related to Moldova’s Growth Plan for 2025–2027. In the explanatory note to the document, the authors say that “the purpose of the reorganization is to create a more economically and administratively efficient entity that will support the development of Moldova’s railway infrastructure and improve the quality of transport services.”

According to the document, the state enterprise, Railway of Moldova, will be reorganized into the joint-stock company “CFM-Infra.” The reorganization does not entail privatization and does not involve the transfer of control over the railway infrastructure to private individuals. The JSC “CFM-Infra” will be wholly state-owned, while the railway infrastructure will remain under state control.

The reorganization procedure includes more stages, including the establishment of the institutional mechanisms necessary for its implementation; the inventory, delimitation and valuation of assets; the implementation of measures to protect creditors and ensuring the transfer of rights and obligations, including employment relationships.

The need to reorganize CFM is provided for in the Railway Transport Code, adopted by the parliament in 2022. The reorganization process began with the establishment of the joint-stock company, Railway of Moldova ‘Passenger and Freight.’” Thus, the completion of the reorganization of JSC “CFM-Infra” will allow railway infrastructure and transport activities to operate separately, with rules and financing mechanisms adapted to each.
