Ethio telecom 2018/2019 Financial results
Revenue - - - $1.2bn
Net income---$198mn

Let's say Company is valued at sh.200bn using a price to earnings ratio of 10
If the Ethiopian government sells a 20% stake, safaricom may have to folk out $400mn or ksh.40bn

Easy for Saf which paid 75bn+ in dividends last year.

I was using your numbers. Even 50% at 100bn ($1bn) is do-able by Saf given it has the ability to borrow based on its regular and substantial cash inflow and debt-free balance sheet.

Borrowing means it may go with a foreign bank or do a syndicated loan with local banks.
Ethiopian government has given itself a timeline to complete by March 2020 and announce the winners.

Easy for Safaricom to line up $1bn in financing within 3 months after the "award" given its strong cashflow, balance sheet and parent.
