PRIVATISATION OF ZAMTEL
Zambian fixed and mobile operator Zamtel is currently in the process of being privatised by the government. The operator has struggled to gain mobile market share from MTN and Zain, who both operate in Zambia. With relatively low mobile penetration and high tariffs, a strong opportunity presents itself for a new investor.
Privatisation of Zamtel considers the opportunity for potential investors, with a focus on Zamtel’s mobile operation, Cell Z. It examines the value of this and other assets with a view to explaining how an investor can maximise value from an investment in Zamtel. The report takes into account the country’s socioeconomic background as well as the current state of the telecoms market. It then analyses the current state of Zamtel and its strengths and weaknesses. Forecasts are given for both Zamtel and the Zambian mobile market as a whole for the period up to 2015.
