Orascom Interested in any Asset on Sale

Mobile telecoms is a sellers’ market and Orascom Telecom is interested in any asset for sale, in any geography, its Executive Chairman Naguib Sawiris said.

“If you ask me what are you interested in, I would tell you any mobile asset regardless of the geography,” Sawiris told Reuters at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Orascom currently operates in countries such as Algeria, Tunisia, Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, North Korea and Canada.

In Pakistan, Sawiris said he expects to see consolidation this year because companies are not making money.

“We are open to be a party to that (consolidation), be a consolidator,” Sawiris said.

Despite Swaris talked more in general, still this is first time that Orascom has shown its interest for investing in Pakistan, after the group had decided to hold investments in the region.

    • It is stupid to advise a businessman not to flip flop. He is not talking about some religion where you cannot change anything.

  • Your blog was definitely an excellent read and I enjoy good blog posts on the internet because alot of it’s the same thing. I understand that in the area of site material it is for the most part King for the matter of making a website ranked and what not (undoubtely why I saw this). I’ve made a couple webpages back when and am focusing on an internet mini sales marketplace kinda thing for users to go on and buy and sell services to one another. That being said I need to pound away on writing some blog content and other stuff on the webpage and what not. Anyway take it easy and keep getting out quality material.
