Project Details
Assessment of Lebanon’s failed mobile privatization
Situation
Successive attempts to privatize the Lebanese mobile segment failed to achieve desired results
Mobile sector locked in disputes that slowed progress
    Mobile sector performance lagged behind other markets in terms of service and price offerings
       
  Key Issues
    Bad decisions
    Mismanagement
    Loss of investor confidence
       
  Connexus Contribution
    Reviewed the history of the sector
    Analyzed the sector vis-à-vis benchmarks
    Performed regulatory and process due diligence
    Financially simulated the different scenarios for the sector and argued that the privatization and liberalization of the mobile market would have generated far more revenues to the Lebanese treasury than the management contract in the medium term
       
  Results
    Quantified the cost of the bad decisions that have beset the mobile sector since 1998, most notably the decision to terminate the BOT contracts and the subsequent decisions not to privatize and liberalize but to resort to a management contract
    Systematically compared the financial and economic impact of various policy options
    Recommended a high level roadmap for the way forward
