Souq Says No Expansion Planned For Now Due To 'Untapped' GCC+Egypt Potential

When the Amazon deal was first announced some had speculated the estimated $650m acquisition completed in July could see Souq.com rapidly expand into new Middle East and North Africa markets.

However, speaking to Gulf Business, Ronaldo Mouchawar indicated a more conservative approach was instead being adopted.

“We’re kind of staying within the GCC plus Egypt because we feel there is still a lot of untapped potential within these markets and a lot to do to improve overall the shopping online and penetration in our sector,” he said.
