“As part of  Arab Advisors Group’s 5G price tracking service, we are pleased to announce the release of the fifth edition of the report “A Comparative Analysis of 5G Rates in the GCC“.” Hiba Rabadi, Arab Advisors Group’s Deputy General Manager said. “5G price tracker is crucial to both countries with and without commercial 5G launches. Through our reports, countries with commercially available 5G services acknowledge their positions in terms of affordability and plans versatility. As for countries which did not launch 5G, our price tracking allows them to forecast price points ensuring smoother and rapid launches.” Added Rabadi.

“It was interesting to find out who champions the current 5G landscape in the region. Telcos in KSA and Kuwait offer their 5G services at more competitive rates that of the rest of the GCC as their average monthly fees have proven to be lower than the Gulf\s average in both prepaid and postpaid 5G data only plans. Dana Shekem, Research Analyst at Arab Advisors Group added.
