Budi Arie Setiadi, Minister of Communication and Informatics, stated that his office has approved the merger between XL Axiata and Smartfren. The reason is to create a healthier telecommunications industry.

“Yes, healthier and more efficient. Three is enough,” said Minister of Communication and Informatics Budi Arie Setiadi in BSD, Tangerang Regency, on Tuesday (26/3/2023), as quoted by *Katadata*.

PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk (FREN) welcomed positively the step taken by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) to approve the merger of cellular operator PT XL Axiata Tbk (EXCL) with Smartfren. Smartfren Telecom President Director Merza Fachys also hoped for clarity on this long-standing issue.

"I am still waiting and hoping for good news," he told Katadata.co.id, Wednesday (27/3).

However, Merza was reluctant to reveal how far the discussions regarding the merger plan have progressed. "I don't know either," he said.
