A subsidiary of UAE telecoms operator e&, formerly known as Etisalat, has signed a binding agreement to acquire 100 percent of UPC Broadband Slovakia.

Mobile operator O2 Slovakia, part of e& PPF Telecom Group BV, will acquire the company from British-Dutch-US telecom operator Liberty Global for €95 million ($112 million), Abu Dhabi-listed e& said in a statement.

In October 2024 e& completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in PPF Group’s telecoms business across four European countries — Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Slovakia.

UPC Slovakia is a fixed broadband operator serving 170,000 customers and generating around €47 million in annual revenue. Its network covers 647,000 homes across 80 cities.

These assets will provide O2 Slovakia with a nationwide fixed broadband footprint, the statement said.

The acquisition aligns with e&’s plan to expand its international business in central and eastern Europe, enhance revenue diversification in stable EU-linked markets, and strengthen e& PPF Telecom operations.

The deal is subject to closing conditions and will be financed through a mix of cash and debt at e& PPF Telecom level.

  • Lack of subsea cable capacity hinders Middle East

Upon completion, UPC Slovakia’s financials will be consolidated into e& PPF Telecom’s financials. The overall impact on e&’s consolidated financials is expected to be immaterial, the statement said.

In February, e& PPF Telecom agreed to acquire 100 percent of SBB d.o.o. Serbia, a cable television and broadband internet service company, for €825 million.

E& owns a 14.6 percent stake in London-listed Vodafone.  

The UAE telco’s shares closed 1.2 percent lower at AED18.06 on Wednesday but are up 11 percent year-to-date.

Federal Reserve’s Kashkari questions number of rate cuts to achieve neutrality

Federal Reserve’s Kashkari questions number of rate cuts to achieve neutrality

The post Federal Reserve’s Kashkari questions number of rate cuts to achieve neutrality appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Federal Reserve’s Neel Kashkari highlighted uncertainty about the number of rate cuts needed to reach a neutral policy rate. Recent and expected rate cuts in 2025 coincide with a Fed shift toward an easing cycle, but the ‘neutral rate’ is higher than pre-pandemic levels. Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, expressed uncertainty today about how many additional rate cuts would be needed to reach a neutral policy stance. Kashkari and other Fed officials now estimate the neutral rate could be around 3.1%, higher than pre-pandemic levels of 2-3%. The elevated estimate suggests fewer cuts might be necessary to reach the theoretical rate where monetary policy neither stimulates nor restrains economic growth. The uncertainty about the neutral rate echoes debates from the 2010s when rates were held low for extended periods to aid recovery, contrasting with the Fed’s aggressive cuts to near-zero during the COVID-19 era in 2020.
