Euro Funding for New GSM Network in Ecuador
The European Investment Bank has announced that it is providing a US$51.2 million loan to Otecel for investment in a new GSM phone network in Ecuador. The rollout of the GSM network will extend coverage into areas of the country, which have not been yet served, and will allow for capacity increases in the main cities.
The project is part of an investment programme by subsidiaries of Telef operating in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, which is supported by the EIB under the EU economic cooperation policy aimed at fostering regional integration and transfer of technology. Economic integration among the three countries has been growing but still remains limited. The largest bilateral trade flow among them does not exceed 8% of total exports.
