Telenor-Ufone Merger Decision Imminent as Competition Commission Holds Final Hearing

Islamabad – The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) today held a crucial hearing regarding the proposed acquisition of Telenor Pakistan by Ufone, a subsidiary of the PTCL Group. This hearing marks a critical step in the regulatory process, with stakeholders presenting their final arguments before the CCP.

Sources indicate that a decision is expected soon, potentially determining the date on which Ufone will formally take control of Telenor’s operations. The merger has been under scrutiny due to its potential impact on the Pakistani telecommunications market.

The CCP is tasked with ensuring fair competition and preventing monopolies. Its decision will likely consider factors such as market share, consumer pricing, and the overall impact on the telecom sector.

This acquisition, if approved, would create a major player in Pakistan’s mobile network market, combining the resources and customer base of two established companies. The outcome of the CCP’s deliberations is eagerly awaited by industry observers and consumers alike.
