VEON-Backed Research: Mobile Tax Cuts Could Drive Significant Economic Gains in Bangladesh, Pakistan
VEON sits 65% above its 52-week low of $34.55.
Summary
VEON commissioned a Frontier Economics report demonstrating that reducing high mobile-specific taxes in Bangladesh (from 47% to 23%) and Pakistan (from 37% to 17%) could significantly accelerate economic growth and mobile penetration. The research projects an increase in annual real GDP per capita growth and suggests government tax revenues would ultimately surpass baseline levels by 2030-2031. This proactive advocacy by VEON, which operates in these key markets, aims to improve its operating environment and could lead to substantial revenue growth if tax reforms are implemented. The company has recently reported strong financial results and made significant investments, making this a strategic move to further enhance its market position.
