Pakistan Engro Digital Infrastructure Investments To Start Unlocking Pakistan's Potential

摘要

1. Moves to kick-start private-sector investment in Pakistan's passive digital infrastructure market provide upsides to our long-term outlooks for mobile and wireline broadband expansion in the country. 2. Multi-industry conglomerate Engro has pooled its nascent telecoms towers business into a new standalone unit and has announced a PKR21.5bn (USD129mn) investment into the new entity, with the aim of expanding its presence in the local buildto- suit infrastructure market. 3. The only other independent player is the local subsidiary of Malaysia's edotco, which will also be expanding its footprint over the next three years.
