The facility includes €39 million from the EBRD and $40 million (around €35.6 million) from Banque Misr's Dubai branch. Orange Egypt will utilize the loan to support its acquisition of a 5G mobile license from the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA).

It is also anticipated to enable companies to make more innovative offerings, improve customer experience, and stimulate digital growth. Moreover, Orange Egypt's network upgrade is expected to lower its CO2 emissions by 1.740 million tons annually. Jean-Marc Peterschmitt, EBRD's Managing Director for the Corporate Sector, commented: 'This project will strengthen Egypt's digital infrastructure, contributing to improved internet connectivity for local consumers, businesses and the broader economy.'
