Axiata expects growth momentum to continue

“If we can do it (integration) by January or February, we are in good shape,’’ Axiata group president and CEO Datuk Izzaddin Idris said yesterday.

PETALING JAYA: Axiata Group Bhd’s operational resilience led to higher profit in the first half of 2021 and while it expects the same for the second half, it also hopes for a fast approval from the telecoms regulator to its proposal to merge its mobile unit with Digi.com Bhd.

Axiata submitted its proposal for the merger of Celcom Axiata Bhd with Digi to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and other authorities in July.
