Telecom Egypt has secured a credit line with the European Investment Bank. The EIB is the lending arm of the European Union. The medium-term loan of € 150 million is aimed at expanding Telecom Egypt’s 4G broadband network.

Telecom Egypt is Egypt’s primary telephone company. It started in 1854 with the first telegraph line in Egypt. In 1998, it replaced the former Arab Republic of Egypt National Telecommunication Organization.

The EU aims to support Egyptian government efforts to secure resilient and affordable access to universal connectivity to the benefits of Egyptian citizens across the whole country. Telecom Egypt is set to improve its mobile network coverage by deploying around 2,000 new mobile sites and installing additional capacity layers to its existing portfolio of mobile towers. The medium-term loan of € 150 million is the European Investment Bank’s largest mobile network loan in Africa. This initiative will provide Egypt with accessible and affordable digital services.

Telecom Egypt will capitalize on its multiple financial resources, newly awarded spectrum and rich portfolio of valuable products, among other factors, to continue serving its growing customer base and strengthen its competitive position in the Egyptian telecom market.”
