Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) has invested $200 million into China’s high-speed rail investment fund, becoming the first foreign investor in the state-of-the-art rail network, as China is considering bringing in more private investment into a system whose construction has cost billions of dollars, reported local daily, Arab Times.
KIA will invest in a 300 km (186 miles) line connecting Jinan and Qingdao, two major cities in East China’s Shandong province and the fund will get a 7.16 per cent stake in the rail line in exchange for the investment.
The investment marks the second for CICC in China’s high-speed rail network, following an earlier one in the line connecting the coastal cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Beijing has been encouraging outside investment in such projects in a bid to relieve the debt burden on the state-owned operator of the high-speed rail network.
