2.11 The advertisement market is large enough to
support a diversity of media outlets.
Commercial banks (of which there are presently 16 in the country) are currently
the main advertisers in the media. Together, they surpass advertising spent by
mobile telephone companies, which were previously the main drivers of media
advertising. Nevertheless, the market is still not suiciently robust to guarantee
the sustainability of a wide range of media. In addition, many companies still do
not have a media advertising culture. his market deicit has led some media to
apply advertising pricing policies that set prices way below real market prices, thus
resulting in dumping.
