    Vimpelcom to buy stake in Egypt's Orascom

    (MENAFN) Norwegian-Russian telecoms firm Vimpelcom said that it has signed a $6.5 billion deal with Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris to buy a majority stake in Egypt's Orascom Telecom and all of Italy's Wind, Reuters reported. If finalised, the deal would help Orascom's holding company lighten its debt burden and become a player in the one of world's top five telecoms firms, a goal Sawiris has talked about since 2006. The acquisition would mark a major expansion into Asia, North Africa and the developed European market, for Vimplecom, which is part controlled by Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman.
