"Despite the solid progress we have made with the sale process to date, and the continued strong interest shown by the bidders, the unprecedented market volatility and economic conditions that we are seeing globally has led to the Government taking the prudent decision to stop the sale process."
Omantel has continued to record strong operational and financial performance, with profits for the nine months to 30 September 2008 increasing by 29.6% to OR106.9m compared to OR82.6m recorded during the same period in 2007. Revenues in the quarter grew 16.7% to OR314.5m compared to OR269.5m for the same period last year.
The sale process was launched in July 2008 to find a strategic partner to further strengthen Omantel's market position and establish Omantel as a world-class provider of telecommunications services both in the Sultanate and internationally.
