Chairman’s statement

Introduction

The Group delivered a solid performance in the first half of the year, supported by continued execution across its four strategic business pillars: Mobile Network Operations (MNO), FinTech, InfraCo and Econet AI. Each pillar plays a distinct role in strengthening the Group’s growth, resilience and long-term value creation, while enhancing the benefits of an integrated digital ecosystem.

A key strategic priority during the period was the accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) across the Group. We have moved beyond experimentation and are increasingly embedding AI into customer experience, network optimisation, operational efficiency, product innovation and the development of new revenue streams. Together with our strong core businesses and expanding infrastructure capabilities, this AI-enabled operating model positions the Group to capture the next wave of digital growth.
