  • Press Release
    Press release 27 October 2011 Contract worth €325 million Alstom to supply line 2 of Los Teques metro in Venezuela « Consorcio Linea 2 »1 has awarded a contract globally worth €530 million to the Alstom-led consortium “Grupo de Empresas” to build the second line of Los Teques metro in Miranda State, Venezuela. The line, 12 km long and served by 6 stations, will enter service in October 2015. Alstom’s share of the contract is worth around €325 million. Alstom – which has a share of the consortium of over 60%, along with Colas Rail (22%) and Thales (17%) - will undertake the global coordination of the project, including engineering, integration and commissioning of the electromechanical works on a turnkey basis. In addition, the company will supply 22 metro trains of 6 cars each, medium voltage electrification, traction substations and part of the signalling equipment. The metro trains are from the Alstom’s standard Metropolis platform. Los Teques metro is a suburban mass-transit extension of the Caracas metro system (opening of the first line in 1983, 4 lines currently in commercial service, 600 cars supplied by Alstom). It has been designed to connect the Venezuelan capital to the city of Los Teques. The contract for the supply of the electromechanical system for the line 1 (9.5 km, 2 stations) was signed in October 2005 during a bilateral meeting between France and Venezuela in Paris. This line was inaugurated before the last Presidential elections in November 2006. Line 1 of Los Teques metro currently carries over 42,000 passengers per day.

  • Santo Domingo Metro Financing Rolling Stock and Mechanical Equipment
    Institutional Clients Group Santo Domingo Metro Financing rolling stock and mechanical equipment Case Study The Challenge The Santo Domingo Metro is a rapid transit system in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. In January 2009, Line One of the Metro began providing commercial services. The Metro System is the first in the country and second in the Caribbean. Daily ridership on Line One is approximately 105,000 people. Construction of Line Two of the Metro is underway. In order to purchase electromechanical equipment and rolling stock components, €270 million of financing was required. The electromechanical equipment will be supplied by the Eurodom Consortium made up of Thales and TIM/TSO, and the rolling stock by Alstom Transport, with the equipment originating in Spain, France, Germany and Belgium. With this project total ridership per day will increase to 250,000 people. The Ministry of Finance of the Dominican Republic is guarantor of the facilities, providing an unconditional, irrevocable guarantee supporting the borrower under the facilities. The Office for the Restructuring of Transit (OPRET) is the borrower. The Solution Citi participated as a mandated co-lead arranger in a syndicated €270 million Export Credit Agency-supported (ECA) financing for OPRET to finance the purchase of the electromechanical equipment and rolling stock components for Line Two of the Santo Domingo Metro. Citi, and the other mandated lead arrangers, leveraged the financial structure that had been implemented for the Line One financing of the Metro. This allowed for certain and rapid execution of the Line Two transaction. The Result The inclusion of four ECAs enabled OPRET to maximize ECA-supported financing and minimize commercial debt in its financing mix.

  • Informality, Redevelopment, and the Politics of Limpieza in the Dominican Republic
    Urban Planning (ISSN: 2183–7635) 2020, Volume 5, Issue 3, Pages 252–262 DOI: 10.17645/up.v5i3.3129 Article “They Sold Us Illusions”: Informality, Redevelopment, and the Politics of Limpieza in the Dominican Republic Raksha Vasudevan and Bjørn Sletto * Program in Community and Regional Planning, University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA; E-Mails: [email protected] (R.V.), [email protected] (B.S.) * Corresponding author Submitted: 13 April 2020 | Accepted: 15 June 2020 | Published: 31 August 2020 Abstract In the capital city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, climate change and environmental concerns are used to justify massive redevelopment projects in informal settlements located along the rivers Ozama and Isabela. Residents in such river communities negotiate the uncertainty of state planning under a new socio-environmentalism that prioritizes the environ- ment over social concerns, while continuing to pursue bottom-up neighborhood planning despite the powerful rationality of limpieza (cleanliness), the pervasive techniques of responsibilization, and the celebratory spectacles of megaprojects. The uncertainty resulting from governance under socio-environmentalism produces ambivalence towards environment- centered projects among residents. Drawing on oral histories and interviews with long-time community members, we suggest that residents engage in three ‘sensemaking strategies’ to process their ambivalence in the face of daily precarity, in particular the ongoing threat of evictions. Residents ‘keep up’ with the state and strategically utilize planning language to advocate for community priorities. They engage in practices of storytelling that reproduce a deep sense of community and provide a longer historical understanding of planning interventions. Finally, through verbal speculation and other ‘unsanc- tioned speech acts’ they analyze disruptions caused by socio-environmentalism, build solidarity with other communities, and think ahead despite uncertainty.

  • Chapter 2: Aid-For-Trade Flows and Financing
    CHAPTER 2: AID-FOR-TRADE FLOWS AND FINANCING CHAPTER 2: AID-FOR-TRADE FLOWS AND FINANCING his chapter provides a comprehensive overview of aid-for-trade flows, ODA Tcommitments and disbursements, trade-related Other Official Flows (OOF) and South-South trade-related co-operation. It examines aid-for-trade flows using data from the OECD Creditor Reporting System (CRS), complemented by findings from the OECD/ WTO monitoring survey. It examines recipients and providers of assistance, the financial terms of assistance, and the outlook for aid for trade. In the context of the economic crisis in many OECD member countries, aid for trade (scaled up since 2005) has for the most part been maintained. Aid-for-trade flows declined in 2011, with decreasing support for infrastructure, particularly in Africa. Least developed countries (LDCs) experienced a fall in funding, but they did not bear the brunt of the decline. The flows indicate a shift in funding towards private sector development and value chain promotion. Consequently, flows to meet trade objectives in sectors such as agriculture, industry, and business services are continuing to increase.
