Gezen shared his views on private participation in transportation investments during a briefing with Hong Kong-based investors last week: “As commodity and use information improves, businesses are able to better evaluate risks and develop capacities in line with demand.”
Since entering China to work on the US$ 3.2 billion Hefei – Xian railway project in 1999, Gezen and his team of experts developed tools that characterizes the flows of commodities and people from place to place. Gezen added, “We understand the working environment and opportunities for profitability in transport infrastructure projects.”
During a meeting with investors last week, Asil Gezen commented, “The business of transportation is founded on competition and reliability. A large array of obstacles, from poor roads and lack of standardized equipment to unwieldy customs procedures, curb investor confidence in the system. To solve these problems in a practical way that makes business sense, new approaches in China are gaining traction. The private sector is now able to take on a larger role in financing, constructing, and operating transport systems as high economic growth continues.”
