Telecommunications sector lose 2.5% of turnover

Turnover in mobile telephony recorded a negative variation of about 2.5% compared to the previous year,” reads the new statistical bulletin dedicated to the transport and telecommunications sector.

In 2020, the year of greatest impact of the covid-19 pandemic, turnover had grown 3.1% to 33.9 billion meticais (540 million euros).

The biggest swings were recorded in the postpaid subscriber range: it had increased 130% in 2020 to about 672,000, and in 2021 it fell 85% to about 100,000, below the 2019 figure, INE said.

The data, provided by Mozambique’s National Telecommunications Institute (INCM), also indicates that the sector lost 28% of staff in service between 2020 and 2021, to total 2,761 workers.

In another chapter, the INE bulletin indicates that transport in Mozambique recovered in 2021 part of the passengers and cargo lost because of covid-19, but still fell short of pre-pandemic values.

“In 2021, freight transport recorded an increase of 19.8%, while passengers transported had a growth of 3.7%,” the document reads.

Still, the numbers place 2021 among the worst of the last six (from 2017 to here) only surpassed by the 2020 drop – and still no known data for this year.

On the other hand, “the average fares of the main services did not observe variations, remaining constant” in all types of transport.
