The state took over a portion of MAVʼs debt, reducing the consolidated stock to HUF 152 bln at year-end, Szikszay Bandonfai said. MAV assumed the management of HUF 217 bln in assets from the National Infrastructure Company in 2014, bringing the total Treasury assets it manages to HUF 720 bln.
Last year, MAV spent HUF 9.6 bln on upkeep and HUF 37.8 bln on refurbishments from its own resources, according to deputy-CEO Lászlo Pál. Expenditures on safety developments and station renovations were made possible with funding from the European Union, he added.
