Clifford Chance and its Turkish affiliate Ciftci Attorney Partnership have advised JP Morgan Chase, BNP Paribas, and ING European Financial Services on their EUR 781 million UKEF-covered financing for the Republic of Turkiye's Mersin-Adana-Osmaniye-Gaziantep high-speed rail project.
According to Clifford Chance, the project was undertaken by Turkiye's Ronesans Holding Group under an engineering, procurement, construction, and finance model. "This project represents a significant milestone for Turkiye's national railway network, as it is expected to increase the share of rail for intercity transportation and enhance integration with other transportation modes," the firm announced.
