Congo Telecom plans to launch into the mobile telephony and mobile money segments in 2024, according to Yves Castanou, general director of the company.

This initiative is part of Congo Telecom’s ambition to be, by 2030, the leading digital operator in the Republic of Congo and a major player in the Central African sub-region.

The company has developed a four-year strategic plan called ‘Transform.’ It is based on eight pillars which are the offers; customer experience; branding; cost optimization; corporate culture; human capital; technologies and networks; the ecosystem and partnerships.

The initiative should allow Congo Telecom to diversify its activities as well as its sources of income. Created in March 2003 following the dissolution of the National Post and Telecommunications Office, the company claims the status of dominant operator in certain segments of the telecommunications and digital market such as fixed telephony and optical fibre.
