Airtel Africa, the subsidiary of Bharti Airtel, reported revenue grew by 6.9%, with constant currency growth of 13.0%. The constant currency growth of 13.0% was partially offset by currency devaluation, mainly in Nigeria (6.9%), Zambia (28.3%) and Kenya (4.4%).

Notably, revenue growth was broad-based across all its key segments: voice up 2.2%, data up 35.7% and mobile money up 26.3% in constant currency terms.
