Financial analysis of a possible version • Optimum operative subsidy, with 10% initial investment • 10 % initial investment granting • optimum operative subsidy (to reach at least 11 % interest rate on equity and not to have negative cumulative cash-flow) • no ticket price reduction (except for students and pensioner) Kristijan Gjorgjievski|
The Study - Conclusions • It is financially feasible to introduce the Tram as an environmentaly friendly high capacity transport mode in the City of Skopje; • Among line options investigated, nr 1 proved to be most beneficial and financially feasible (12km long trunk line); • Later further development is possible (line 2, 3); • Sustainable public financing is needed • 10 % initial investment granting • optimal operative subsidy • Risks to be mitigated (cost overrun, time overrun, policy failure, car invasion). • Need for changes in legislation, due to a new way of transport • Additional measures: • Modification of local transport strategy. • Reorganisation of JSP
Next steps • The city of Skopje decided to proceed with the next phase, i.e into project preparatory phase • Animation of possible investors and organizing round table (end of November 2011) • Expected tender announcement – End of January 2012 Kristijan Gjorgjievski|
