In the first half of 2025, the capital expenditure (capex) of Saudi-listed Etihad Etisalat Co. (Mobily) increased by over 285 percent as it continued to develop its infrastructure.
Mobily CEO Nizar Banabeela informed CNBC Arabia that capex reached 2.7 billion Saudi riyals ($719.73 million) in the first half of the year, up from SAR 700 million during the same period last year.
According to its financial statement, the telco invested SAR 566 million in the second quarter of 2025 to improve its infrastructure, develop frequency spectrums, and expand its 5G network.
Mobily and state-owned Telecom Egypt entered into a cooperation agreement in November to establish the first Saudi submarine cable connecting Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
