Safaricom’s expansion into Ethiopia is getting a major boost.
International Finance Corporation announced that it would invest Ksh21.8 billion in Safaricom, in exchange for 7.25% of the company’s equity. IFC will also loan Safaricom a further Ksh13.9 billion.
In May 2021, Safaricom won a bid to become the first external—and second overall—telecoms company in Ethiopia.
Before Safaricom, state-owned telecoms Ethio Telecom had a monopoly of Ethiopia’s telecoms market, with 54 million subscribers.
