Airtel Africa, has entered into a partnership with Qatar Holding LLC; an affiliate of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). This partnership has birthed the investment of $200m into AMC BV. The investment is expected to create a pathway through which debt reduction, investment in sales and infrastructure in the Company’s operating countries will be achieved. This investment will be carried out in two (2) segments. The first segment worth $150m will begin in August, the other segment worth $50m will begin at a later time; though unspecified. As a benefit of the partnership, QIA will hold a minority stake in Airtel Africa, while the company itself retains the majority.

Regarding the feasibility of this investment, a look at the revenue brought in by Airtel Mobile Money as presented in the Company’s financial report gives some clue: By Q1 of 2020, Airtel Mobile Money had an increased revenue from the last Q1 financial report by 38.7%. Customer base was also not excluded, as in Q1 2021, the company arm grew to have 21.7 million users, as against the 18.3 million users it had in Q1 2020. This brings an accretion of about 18.5%, when compared.

QIA’s CEO Mansoor bin Ebrahim Al-Mahmoud, is of the stance that Airtel’s Mobile Money is critical for economic activity facilitation, particularly for customers who lack access to traditional financial services. He believes that the investment in Airtel Africa will contribute to sub-Saharan Africa’s financial inclusion.
