UIP 36th Management Report 1985

Last year, virtually all sectors of national economies were able to take advantage of the overall improvement. It cannot be said, so clear and sharp, if all traces of the long previous recession are finally erased. The new structures, the favourable dollar exchange rate and resorption of stocks have improved the economic situation. However, the problem of the profitability of the investments remains another question.

Progression of European rail goods traffic continued in 1985 thanks to an improved economic situation, somewhat attenuated by a very strong road competition.

The 1985 Management Report is available in both French and German.
