Ooredoo Qatar delivered an impressive performance in 2022, with reported revenue up 7% to QR8.0bn.
This was driven by growth in postpaid services, Ooredoo TV, and ICT services. EBITDA, however, saw a 1% drop mainly because of FIFA World Cup sponsorships.
Ooredoo Qatar saw a 14% increase in its customer base, with 460,000 customers activated above the normal rate during Q4.
Overall, Ooredoo Qatar achieved record-breaking revenue at the conclusion of the sporting mega-event, cementing its position as a world-leading telecommunications and ICT provider.
It introduced the Hayya Sim, which was made available to keep visitors connected during the world’s biggest sporting event. Ooredoo Qatar used a new AI-powered process of identity authentication and SIM card activation to speed up and simplify its onboarding process. The service deployed a sophisticated AI-based digital Know Your Customer technology to establish the real identity of users quickly and efficiently in the digital world.
Heading into 2023, Ooredoo Qatar welcomed its newly-appointed CEO, Sheikh Ali bin Jabor al-Thani, who will build on the strong foundations put in place by his predecessors and enable Ooredoo Qatar to continue to innovate and drive value creation in our home market.
