MTN continued to benefit from its significant scale
and footprint. The Group’s subscriber base increased by 4,1% to 232,5 million, despite the disconnection of
10,4 million subscribers to ensure compliance with subscriber regulatory registration requirements in Nigeria and
Uganda. Nigeria and Uganda disconnected 6,7 million and 3,7 subscribers respectively. Subscriber growth was
achieved through attractive segmented below-the-line campaigns and an increased focus on the customer
experience enabling the Group to maintain its leadership position in 15 markets.
