VimpelCom’s Djezzy (Algeria), Mobilink (Pakistan), Beeline (Russia), WIND (Italy) and Kyivstar (Ukraine) brands all featured among the top 250 telecoms brands across the globe (out of the 900 assessed). The Group’s banglalink (Bangladesh) brand was ranked number 262, placing it in the top 300 telecom brands worldwide. Djezzy rose 29 positions to 171, while Mobilink moved up 59 places to 201.

Two of VimpelCom’s brands, Beeline and WIND, were recognized among the report’s top 100 global telecom brands: Beeline was valued at USD 2.6 billion**, while Wind was valued at USD 1.6 billion.
