Strategy

Operations

Across our operations depressed currencies and higher interest rates

are putting upward pressure on our costs, as we expand our network

to support growing data and voice traffic. Given this operating context,

there is a strong drive to find innovative ways to reduce our costs and

maximise efficiencies.

Our strategic targets

Drive cost efficiencies in each of our

core mobile businesses to ensure

cost growth of 0.5 ppts lower than

revenue growth.
