New Street: Sub-Saharan African Telecoms Q2 22 review: Decent growth; some pressure on margins

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) operators saw a decent Q2 as subscriber growth remained strong. However, ARPU growth eased, in part due to the e-levies and reduced P2P fees on fintech services. Airtel Africa (AAF) was the outperformer again while MTN’s EBITDA margin was more resilient.
