"We are optimistic about 2025 and confident it will be another strong year for Telecom Egypt. As the global macroeconomic conditions show signs of stabilization, our budget reflects our belief in the resilience and strength of our business model, which continues to navigate the complexities of the current economic landscape effectively.

We will also prioritize the strategic monetization of our assets and infrastructure while rigorously optimizing costs to drive operational efficiency. Our unwavering commitment to sustainable growth across our core business lines positions us to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”
