交通部 (DoTR) 表示,正在探索扩大公私合作伙伴关系 (PPP) 作用的可能性,为棉兰老岛铁路项目提供资金,以取代涉及中国融资的原始计划。 “当时我们有一个以前的资助者(它没有继续)。所以现在,同样的地位......我们正在寻找不同的资助者 [...]

THE Department of Transportation (DoTR) said it is exploring the possibility of an expanded role for public-private partnerships (PPP) to fund the Mindanao Railway project, in place of the original plan involving Chinese fi nancing.

“We had a previous funder, then (it didn’t go ahead). So now, same status… we are looking for a different funder and (updating the) feasibility study,” Transportation Undersecretary Timothy John R. Batan told reporters.

“A public-private partnership is being considered; that is an option,” he said, adding that if the PPP route is not taken, the project might also be presented to the Japan International Cooperation Agency or Asian Development Bank.

铁路项目第三期已开始采用 PPP 方案。

棉兰老铁路此前计划通过中国的官方发展援助提供资金。

Batan 先生表示,DoTr 与棉兰老岛发展局成立了一个联合工作组,负责该地区的项目。

He said the DoTr is still uncertain when groundbreaking for the project can begin, as the government is still determining how to fund it, adding that he does not expect any progress on the fi nancing front within the year due to the need to update the feasibility study.

Batan先生表示,目前的可行性研究是基于2018年的数据。

“我们必须更新客流量假设(以及我们的)成本估算,”他补充道。

上个月,PPP中心表示,棉兰老铁路三期项目预可研工作已经完成。
