🔮 前景展望AI analysis grounded in cited sources

Telenor will complete its full withdrawal from Pakistan.
The potential sale of the digital banking stake follows the earlier divestment of its mobile telecommunications business, indicating a complete strategic exit from the country.
The sale will provide a clearer valuation for digital banking assets in frontier markets.
An auction setting a firm price for a control stake in Easypaisa would serve as a useful reference point for valuing similar assets in emerging markets.
Telenor will further focus on its Nordic core and remaining market-leading Asian operations.
This divestment aligns with Telenor's broader strategy of portfolio reshaping in Asia to refocus on its Nordic core and manage leading Asian operations for long-term value.
