The rail network planned for the Persian Gulf will connect the six GCC countries, a project that will have a budget of more than 15,000 million dollars. In addition, a section linking Saudi Arabia and Bahrain will be included. The new infrastructure will be used primarily for transporting goods, but also for transporting passengers.
In parallel to this joint project, each country will take the opportunity to extend the railway network in each of their areas. For example, for the railway project in Oman a batch of over 12.000 billion dollars has been approved.
The Persian Gulf rail market is of primary interest for Spanish exports. The Spanish Railway Association (Mafex) attended the first joint conference of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) which was held in Oman during the 11th and 12th of January in order to strengthens trade ties and discuss business opportunities regarding the investment plans for infrastructure programmed in the area.
