Leasing

Russian Railways makes decisions to attract lease financing based on the general principles of the debt policy taking into account IFRS approaches for assessing the level of financial debt.

The Company is currently implementing a programme called ‘Renovation of track maintenance equipment in 2012—2016’ using the leasing mechanism.
