Reasonable growth has been reported across North Africa’s mobile markets
The third quarter of 2009 has seen reasonable growth across North Africa’s mobile markets, although some have faired better than others. Morocco in particular has seen excellent growth between July and September 2009. Morocco has also experienced considerable excitement thanks to the selling of Meditel. However, there was some surprise when the shares previously held by Portugal Telecom and Telefónica went to existing shareholders and other Moroccan investment companies. It had been anticipated that a big regional player like Etisalat might make an entrance. This is still possible, as the new owners may sell a stake, but it has taken some of the excitement out of the event. The more significant entrance of Wana into the commercial mobile arena is anticipated to hot up the market more.
Despite this, the market has made remarkable gains in the third quarter, with not far off 2mn net additions. Given the fact the first quarter saw lacklustre growth, and the second quarter a small market contraction, this is an impressive turn around. Tunisia, too, has shown extremely strong mobile growth in the third quarter when compared to the first half of the year. Algeria is continuing along a healthy mobile growth trajectory in keeping with its showing for H109.
There are a couple of interesting changes to our North Africa report this quarter. First of all, as this is our first issue of 2010, we have extended all of our forecasts to 2014. Aside from this extension, the forecasts have seen no major change, apart from those small alterations introduced by the impressive growth in Morocco. The other change is the introduction of our new Middle East and North Africa Business Environment Rankings. North African markets have in general more in common with Middle Eastern markets than the often very underdeveloped ones in Sub-Saharan Africa, this being said, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, along with Egypt, have slotted in pretty close to the bottom of the new table. Perhaps even more exciting is our planned inclusion of Libya into our upcoming Q210 North Africa Telecommunications report.
