Usman Ghazi's questions to TELENOR (TELNY) leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Usman Ghazi asked if the strategic ambition for an Asian carve-out, an 'unfinished project' under the outgoing CEO, is shared by the new management. He also inquired if Telenor is positioning for M&A in the Swedish fixed market, given regulatory shifts similar to Norway's.
Answer
CEO Sigve Brekke corrected that the Asian structural process is 'unconcluded,' not 'unfinished,' and stated he assumes the new management will continue to pursue it as it is value accretive. He also confirmed that Telenor views the potential regulatory changes in Sweden as a positive upside, similar to the situation in Norway.
