Indonesia

Indosat Ooredoo delivered solid results in a market that has displayed great resilience and continued opportunities as total revenue rose by 14% year-on-year to QAR 8 billion and EBITDA grew by 22% to reach QAR 3.9 billion. We also announced the formation of our new entity, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, after receiving all required regulatory and shareholder approvals. We are now a stronger, world-class digital telecoms and internet company and are well-positioned to lead the digital transformation journey in Indonesia.

Kuwait

2021 was a challenging year; but we strongly believe that where there are challenges, there are opportunities. Our success during 2021 reflects our efficient management style and our ability to transform and to listen to our employees, customers, managers and partners. This was made possible by Ooredoo Kuwait’s devoted team. Their talents and actions helped us achieve excellence every day.

Oman

In 2021, Oman’s market started showing signs of recovery. Backed by a strong network as well as competitive products and services, we continued to strengthen our position as Oman’s forward-thinking telecoms company. We will continue to innovate when it comes to our services, and support the country’s economic growth, especially as a new era of competition dawns. Above all, we will remain committed to our customers, offering them a seamless digital experience and offering our resources whenever we can.

Iraq

2021 was a year of ambition and achievement. 4G services were rolled out from ideation to execution and, in record time, Asiacell became an award-winning provider and the first Iraqi telco to pioneer this service in the country, outperforming its main competitor in the market. At Asiacell, we continue to work towards a future where digitalisation will revolutionise the lives of our customers.

Algeria

2021 was a very positive year for Ooredoo Algeria. Revenues and EBITDA increased quarter-on-quarter as we expanded our 4G footprint across the country and enhanced our offering to provide the best data packages, network speed and reliable connectivity to our customers in the market. None of this would have been possible without the dedication shown by the entire Ooredoo Algeria team. We look forward to taking the company to new heights in 2022.

Tunisia

2021 was a successful year. Our core focus remained on enriching the local community through increased digitalisation while maintaining business growth. We continued our clear leadership in the technical, commercial and marketing fields and most importantly, we retained customer confidence in our business and products, which led to a successful year financially as we reported an increase in revenue of 7% to QAR 1.6 billion, compared to QAR 1.5 billion the previous year.

Myanmar

2021 was a year of recovery and continued resilience for Myanmar. Despite the political challenges and the new variants of the Covid-19 virus, our high-speed connectivity and innovative technologies allowed our business to position itself at the forefront of the competition. By capitalising on the shift in consumer behaviour, we were able to explore new opportunities which will enable us to enhance the digital lives of our customers.

Palestine

Despite the ongoing political instability in Palestine and the impact of Covid-19 on the telecommunications industry, Ooredoo Palestine continued to operate efficiently and maintained its position in the market by delivering continued financial and commercial growth.

Through strategic planning and staying committed to the company’s vision and ambitions, we were able to deliver significant progress, and continued to deliver value to all our stakeholders.

Maldives

During 2021, our vision of a digital Maldives was more pronounced than ever as we remained committed to strengthening the nation’s digital network and supporting the growth of the economy. We delivered a stellar net profit of QAR 110 million, a growth of 14% and 4% growth in revenues. We look forward to more exciting and innovative projects to take Digital Maldives to the next level in 2022.
