8. Project Justification
The financial analysis gives an overview of the financial flows of investment, the operating costs and the revenues over the lifetime of the project and it calculates the rate of return on the investment (IRR) and the net present value (NPV). The financial analysis focuses on the costs and revenues from the perspective of: infrastructure manager, operator of passenger trains and operator of freight trains. The result was positive for both countries.
The economic analysis encompasses more than just the considerations of the financial returns of the project, such as user benefits and external costs (air pollution, CO2 emissions and accidents). The economic results of the cost-benefit analysis are presented also in terms of benefit-cost ratio (B/C ratio), and are extremely positive for both countries.
Following a final sensitivity analisys, the Study demonstrated that the proposed investment is financial viable and economically beneficial.
