KUALA LUMPUR: U Mobile Sdn Bhd’s newly secured RM4.3 billion syndicated financing will help the operator accelerate 5G deployment and strengthen its position in Malaysia’s competitive market.

BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions Group Ltd, said Malaysia’s 5G adoption is expected to rise sharply over the forecast period, with penetration climbing from 36.6 per cent at end-2024 to an estimated 75.9 per cent by 2034.
