ISLAMABAD: PTCL Group President & CEO Hatem Bamatraf debunked rumours that Ufone is in the process of purchasing a telecom firm on Friday, saying that in business, choices are always open.
“We are looking at the market and now are not in the process of merger and acquisition,” Mr Bamatraf stated during his first press conference at the PTCL headquarters after taking over as the group’s leader in May 2021. However, this does not rule out the possibility of taking advantage of any given opportunity.”

He was replying to a query on rumours circulating in the telecom industry that one of Pakistan’s four telcos is going to sell its assets, with Ufone bidding to purchase them in order to expand its reach.
The country’s largest telecom group’s CEO also expressed reservations about participating in the 5G auction process.
He stated that the decision will be made depending on market circumstances and the government’s auction criteria.

Mr Bamatraf, on the other hand, stated that the business intends to improve its position as the only telecom company that provides a comprehensive digitization solution, which includes running a microfinance bank. He went on to say that PTCL’s revenue has grown at its fastest rate in nine years.
