The Protocol will facilitate easier and cheaper financing for the private sector in railway equipment by extending the benefits of the Cape Town Convention model and creating a new global legal system for the recognition, enforcement and prioritisation of security interests and leasing held by creditors in such railway equipment (which includes passenger and freight wagons, locomotives, metros and trams). The workshop in Jakarta focussed on the major economic and strategic advantages for Indonesia.
