Throughout the first half of 2022, the PTCL Group kept up its top-line growth momentum, greatly strengthening its position as a provider of integrated telecom services in Pakistan.
The robust performance of the consumer segment, which is driven by fixed broadband, mobile data, and business solutions, is principally responsible for the PTCL Group’s revenue growth. Despite the obstacles created by the rise in advance income tax (AIT) and the fall in mobile termination rates, microfinance services also significantly contributed to the Group’s achievement of 5.7 percent revenue growth during the comparative period (MTR).
