Orange is engaged in negotiations to acquire a 70% controlling stake in Telecel Ghana, a move intended to expand its presence in Anglophone Africa. The transaction is estimated to cost approximately 500 million euros and would grant the company access to nearly 9 million new customers. The Ghanaian government currently holds a 30% minority stake, and the sale is contingent upon approval from local authorities.

Parallel to these acquisition talks, Orange has reported strong financial performance in other regions. Orange Côte d’Ivoire saw an 18.3% increase in net profit for the first half of 2026, with consolidated revenue rising 16.1% year-on-year. This growth was attributed to mobile data, fiber optics, voice traffic, and mobile financial services.
