The Romanian Government has reportedly approved the merger between Orange Romania, the largest telecom group in the country, and the former state telecom company Romtelecom, in which Orange owns 54% of the shares and the Romanian state holds the remaining 46%.
According to industry sources quoted by Ziarul Financiar, the calendar of the merger will be made public in early 2024.
In 2022, Orange took over 54% of the former Romtelecom from the Greek group OTE, which is part of Deutsche Telekom.
This transaction allowed Orange to diversify its offer and provide integrated fixed-mobile service bundles to clients, thus consolidating its leading position in Romania.
