NAIROBI : Airtel Africa expects a boost from growing demand for mobile broadband and phone-based financial services, its chief executive said on Thursday, after posting rapid growth in first-half earnings.
The growth trajectory will continue, CEO Segun Ogunsanya told Reuters after the results were released, driven by demand from a fifth of Africa's population that still has no access to mobile broadband. In Nigeria, which is Airtel's biggest market, the firm has applied for a licence to offer financial services, from the central bank.
