Ltd at the acquisition price of PKR 108 billion (on debt free cash free basis). PTCL approached IFC for financing of the project, which was subsequently approved in April 2024, and endorsed by the IFC Board of Directors.<br \/>\nThe IFC-led consortium includes the Silk Road Fund (SRF), a Chinese state-owned medium-to-long-term investment fund, and British International Investment (BII), the UK\u2019s development finance institution and impact investor.<br \/>\nGovernor, State Bank of Pakistan, Mr. Jameel Ahmad was the chief guest of the event, which was also attended by President &#038; Group CEO, PTCL &#038; Ufone 4G, Hatem Bamatraf; IFC\u2019s Regional Director for the Middle East, Pakistan &#038; Afghanistan, Khawaja Aftab Ahmed; UAE Ambassador; British High Commissioner; representatives of the consortium; senior and top executives from the PTCL Group.<br \/>\nThe event marked the most significant milestone in the realization of PTCL\u2019s upcoming acquisition of Telenor Pakistan and Orion Towers, following the signing of the financing deal in June 2024 to secure up to USD $400 million.<br \/>\nSpeaking at the event, chief guest, Governor SBP, Mr. Jameel Ahmad said, \u201cIFC\u2019s financing in Pakistan\u2019s telecom sector reinvigorates confidence in the sector\u2019s growth potential.<br \/>\nPakistan\u2019s telecom and digital sector is one of the important contributors to the national economy, and its growth and sustainability can play an important role towards country\u2019s economic prosperity. Mr. Ahmad stated that the SBP is fully committed and facilitating this transformative development and expect this would bring wide-ranging benefits to the country.\u201d<br \/>\nHatem Bamatraf, President and Group CEO, PTCL &#038; PTML (Ufone 4G), commented, \u201cWe are deeply appreciative of the IFC-led consortium for their pivotal role in financing this transformative deal, which marks a defining moment for Pakistan\u2019s telecom sector.<br \/>\nThis is the largest single financing ever secured in the industry, and it not only strengthens PTCL Group but also supports the long-term financial stability and sustainability of the entire telecom sector by enabling greater economies of scale.<br \/>\nAs a result, the industry will be better positioned to contribute to the national economy and societal progress. Through this strategic move, PTCL Group remains fully committed to delivering high-quality cellular and data services to an even wider customer base across Pakistan in the near future.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cPakistan\u2019s telecommunication market offers significant opportunities for growth and investment,\u201d said Khawaja Aftab Ahmed, IFC\u2019s Regional Director for the Middle East, Pakistan and Afghanistan.<br \/>\n\u201cThis investment reflects IFC\u2019s commitment to bolstering inclusive, high-quality digital connectivity and infrastructure in the country by working together with our partners, including the PTCL Group, Government of Pakistan, as well as co-investors BII and SRF.\u201d<br \/>\nThe chief guest presented memorabilia to the worthy guests on behalf of the PTCL Group. Having sealed the financing deal, PTCL Group is awaiting the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) approval to conclude the acquisition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) led consortium came together to formalize and celebrate the historic financing deal for PTCL\u2019s acquisition (subject to regulatory approvals) of Telenor Pakistan and Orion Towers (Private) Limited at a special event in Karachi.
